Over the next month and a half, Americans will put a lot on their plates. And not just turkey. During the holidays, we’re expected to give thanks for what we have (Thanksgiving), fulfill the wishes of others (Christmas and Hanukkah) and resolve to do better next year (New Year’s).
Applying this trio of holiday traditions to American healthcare, I’d like your feedback on the following questions:
- What aspect of U.S. healthcare are you most thankful for?
- What big wish would you make for our healthcare system?
- What one thing should we resolve to fix in the year to come?
You can offer your thoughts on one of these questions or all three in the field below. For my suggestions, check out my Forbes article from Nov. 25.
Thanks for participating. Results will be shared on social media and in the next issue of Monthly Musings On American Healthcare.
