"NYC Socrates Cafe"

The US has one of the highest costs of healthcare and only mediocre outcome results... Clearly our healthcare system isn't working very well. Why not? Let's sit down together to brainstorm a list of problems in the healthcare industry in the US. The first half of the conversation will just be about brainstorming the list of problems... The second half (if people want to) will be for each person to propose solutions that may help solve those problems. HOMEWORK I encourage everyone to make "suggested" changes (in the upper right hand corner of google docs, change "editing" (the pencil icon) to "suggesting" to the following google doc before the meeting, to make contributions to the doc ahead of time. Someone asked in one of the groups whether people will get credit for ideas and whether there are plans to use the results of this dialogue for any future purposes to make improvements. I decided to answer that document in the google doc so it's answered for all people who contribute to the doc in the future. The doc with what I've pieced together so far based on my research and interviews/discussions with friends and family is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TJZYJV6Fztfu2wFaJPFL12uh96VPjdDlNWf7iV_qlWs/edit#
