I'd say building a business that improves these issues is close to the best we can do to help those directly affected by the system.
I can imagine an app that would help the uninsured to survive a hospital without going bankrupt could do quite well. You would have a very clear distribution channel (hospitals and word-of-mouth while at the hospital) and a strong need with a quantifiable upside.
You could probably make an app that's just an e-book that's already worth $20, let alone when you add things like a TrueCar.com for hospital charges.

- mtrimpe 14y agoI'm Dutch so I couldn't agree more, but unless you're a professional lobbyist there's not much else you can do.
- gnaritas 14y agoWe can stop contributing to the problem by trying to make a buck off people's misery, and stop voting for those opposed to doing healthcare as a public service.
