What would you do to fix healthcare with 100,000,000?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
100,000,000? I'm assuming you mean in $$? That wouldn't even be enough to scratch the surface.
 
like 100 million dollars?

hahaha, that wouldn't be enough to do anything
 
Cover budget downfalls and provide PCP visits/urgent care to everyone for about a month and a half? 😕
 
Government health care for the chronically ill, elderly, and disabled, all with sensible spending caps. Completely privatized yet rigidly price-controlled health care for everyone else. Oh, and a team of economists and accountants to make sure it actually works.
 
There are 45 million uninsured in the US so if we were limit the use of that $100,000,000 for them we'd have more than $2 per person! Woot! If one of them needs a lung transplant for $250,000 that leaves $99,750,000 for the other 44,999,999 people.
 
Give it all to churches so they can massive prayer heal all patients (except the non-Christians of course, but who cares?).

I get a bandaid! 👍
 
I'd personally put it all in gene therapy research. Doing so would erase all health problems if successful.

Hmmm...I like my chances. Tell you what, I'll give 10% and keep the other 90% just in case.
 
Bribe officials.

Hello widespread reform!

I like this.

I would devote a large portion to preventative healthcare.
 
The correct answer is to hire a number of talented lobbyists to push a universal health care system.
 
In similar related news, California's main health insurance provider, Blue Shield, plans to jack up its premium rates by 60%. Yay!
 
Find and organize one Medicare/medicaid external audit committes per each state. Use their expertise to cut the fraudulant claims, which is estimated to save at least tens of billions each year. Use some of the funds that are recovered to adequately reimburse to the healthcare providers, so that private insurance rates may go down a bit. Also, spend some money on marketing and investing in end of life care like hospices, and ensure that health providers get paid for introducing patients to possibily of death sooner than they usually do now by talking about will, power of attorney and patient directives, DNR etc (since most amount of dollars are spent on last six months of life of an individual).
 
hmm what that money, I would fix my driveway to accompany my new 50 lambo's
