The phrase "technical solutions to social problems" comes to mind. Read Kenneth Arrow's 1963 paper Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care to understand why health care is a market good, and private sector solutions are not up to the task of providing adequate health care to all.

The solution is for the government to provide health care to all. You are trying to fix things it is only within the government's power to fix -- and the political will is not actually there to fix them because leaving things broken makes vastly more money for all involved.

If you want adequate health care at a reasonable price, emigrate from the USA and live elsewhere.

And for those of you willing to stick it out and help make change happen here, we are hopeful that our differentiated product, use of technology, and processes will stir dialog and stimulate change. There is a saying "eat the mammoth one bite at a time" or something like that - basically when a problem is so big the best you can do is take it in bite sizes pieces. We - by ourselves - cannot change how everyone gets access to healthcare. We can start small and build from there. Our objectives are achievable and objective in the near term, aspirational in the long term. Thanks for contributing your thoughts to the debate!
