    Easy answer to this difficult question: make it more like health care in Scandinavian countries. These countries regularly score highest in world-wide comparison studies.

    And no, drug research laws, EMRs and reimbursement are NOT significant issues for people on the street.

    An even easier answer: Require that health care be fair, affordable, and of high-quality.

    Unemployment: Provide everyone who wants to work a meaningful job with a living wage. Feed, house, clothe, and tend to the health care needs of everyone else.

    War: Require that all nations give up military and economic aggression toward all other nations.

    Globalization?: Cease world trade immediately and require every country to become self-sufficient in everything.

    This kind of breakthrough thinking is not difficult when one focuses on solutions and not on obstacles.
