What would be your recommendation to improve the US Healthcare delivery system and what barrier would you need to overcome to make this change?
Here are a few ideas you could consider for improving the US healthcare system:
- Make it more affordable and accessible for everyone. One big problem is just how expensive healthcare is in the US. Maybe it could be like in other countries where there are options for free or low-cost universal healthcare. That would help a lot of folks.
- Fix how hospitals and doctors charge for stuff. It's crazy how you sometimes don't even know how much things cost till after. They should have set prices listed so people aren't getting surprise bills.
- Make it easier to see a doctor when you need to. Sometimes it's hard to get an appointment right away when you're sick. More doctors and clinics could help so folks aren't waiting forever.
- Focus more on preventing illness too, not just treating it. Things like health education programs in schools, affordable gym memberships, community centers for activities could help cut costs long-term by keeping people healthier overall.
The biggest barriers would probably be money/cost and getting all the different groups like hospitals, insurance companies and politicians to agree on changes. A lot of people make money the way it is now too so they may not want reforms. But changes are needed to help regular folks afford care when they need it.
Most Helpful Opinions
- Better transit to hospitals from rural areas
- Free college for doctors and nurses
- Massive investment in local medical hubs and federal employment of doctors/nurses to staff them.
The only real barrier to this is the culture war. You see, the culture war is just a way to allow people to debate on even footing no matter how unserious they sre. All the effects are hypothetical so "debates" are won by the better story teller - the one who better understands how people think - not the one with a better understanding of the rest of reality (which, just talking the world into giving them whatever they want has been the ideal situation for grifters, scammers, and con artists probably since the dawn of civilization). Culture warriors have taken over or been given the reigns of the narrative because the consistent results of conservative policies has been disaster, while all of the things conservatives oppose (like all of the three points listed above) are massively successful and popular. So policies must be kept out of the debate because, in a debate where policies are mentioned, anyone with an understanding of reality will defeat conservative policies so spectacularly it would almost appear as bullying.

I don't work in the field, so I am not an expert. But something that bothers a lot of people is the advertisement of medications. In most countries, it is illegal to advertise medications. But in the US, you see advertisements for drugs telling the patient to ask their doctor and then listing all the weird side effects.
You can maybe go into the sensationalizing of medications like Ozempic and how that can be an issue and body dysmorphia and the sensationalizing of mental health and people throwing around medical term like they are a doctor and they understand the filed.
I guess make it about the sensationalizing of healthcare and how we should stop sensationalizing healthcare treatments. You can maybe go into Doctor Roxy the plastic surgeon Tik Tok doctor who lost her medical license botched surgeries and inability to focus during complex surgeries because she is more focused on filming it and uploading it in to Tik Tok for more views and money.
You can go into why banning advertisements of medication can help the health care system. Maybe you can go into oxycodone.
Again I don't I am not in that filed, so I don't know what you guys look for in research I am not trained in that field. You should ask your professor or someone in your field to help come up with a topic.
Bomb the place, no more sick people, and no more costs.
Joking aside,
I would give it back to the Native Americans as they were happily living in it for centuries with low health care issues.
Before White immigrants came, and made it all expensive and for profit; while reducing the quality of care.
Put up thorough legislation to limit the price gouging. Doctors don’t need to become multi-millionaires! The insulin price reduction - while decades too late - can only be the first step. Compare how other successful countries are running their systems.
