I do! End health insurance companies as we know them. Institute universal coverage, mandated by law. It doesn't have to be single payer or free at point of care, but it has to be universal coverage.
It's not a trivial problem, but it's also largely a solved one. The US just hasn't implemented any of the models that work elsewhere.
