I agree, but I do not think that we can write an acceptable, realistic, and unambiguous definition of 'solved' before we start, because fighting with a bear always involves some learn-by-doing. It will take a long time for people to accept that a new healthcare system is anywhere close to good enough, and we cannot confidently anticipate now what will be politically acceptable as 'good enough' after people get accustomed to living and dying under the new system. This could certainly be a project that could organically generate some shared values as a by-product, if it is done with political wisdom and skill, but that is just another aspect of a very rich strengths/weakness/opportunities/threats environment that must be navigated.
