Personally I believe the problems with healthcare and education are largely the domain of government to fix.
Is there precedent for this? It's not that I disagree that we have policy-level, institutional problems that won't be fixed by the next hot startup.. But I do think that many of those problems are pinned to overwhelming costs that innovation could demonstrate ways of affecting positively. The way we deliver healthcare in the US is far too costly, inefficient, and frankly dangerous.
It can be a pain in the ass to innovate within the current context of healthcare IT, but there are more opportunities now than ever before to completely ignore the way things have been done until now and make a dent.
[Disclosure: Been building in healthcare for a little over a decade, and currently bashing away at an early stage startup that's devoted to completely rethinking the way primary care is delivered]
