ah, well, you didn't word the post to line up with the intent :) my personal healthcare improvement idea is this: make basic, universally necessary healthcare/tests/procedures/etc standardized, efficient, cheap to execute, and consequently free to all americans. this would create a standard, cheap, accessible, low-grade universal healthcare. i'm modeling this idea off of the army - their doctors are like robots with the commonplace procedures. they're done quickly, efficiently, and researched and standardized so they're cheap as hell to perform. i'd like to think that this would make insurance substantially cheaper, since you wouldn't be tapping it for the mundane doctors visits -- only for the relative emergencies. the average healthy american wouldn't use their insurance except for once in a few years, making the premiums drop. other than that, have the system work the same way. it would require a government investment, but so would any change to the system.
