Community Discussion

I am thinking seriously about how to use the internet to solve some problems in the world. For example, in the U.S. we have very expensive health care and it leaves many in financial trouble. If you don't make enough to afford health insurance but make too much for government assistance, you are forced to pay all your medical expenses out of pocket.

What if there were an internet site that acted as a think-tank for solutions to this problem. I have been wrestling with what I can do to facilitate this and come up with solutions.

If you think about it, the internet has created a worldwide community with unprecedented connections and resources. Why should these resources only be used to profit a few brilliant individuals who know how to capitalize on the technologies we now have?

I think we should have an open forum on the internet, invite all the best brains in the world to speculate on how to solve the problem of the rising cost of healthcare.

Then we can move on to solving some other pressing issues.
