There are tons of smart people here on Blind. I have a small request for all of you to do something to knock the wind out of the incompetent, greedy, inhuman healthcare system in US. We need to break the back of a system that lets hospitals, medical administrators and insurers get away with sending us bills in tens of thousands of dollars, while providers and nurses have to either fall in line with their rules or lose their jobs and license. Is it possible for the tech industry to disrupt the healthcare sector and Big Pharma in a way that even our politicians (they don’t even know how the internet works) couldn’t do in the last few decades?

What you are really suggesting is - replace the greedy healthcare system by disrupting it with a new greedy system.
This is the unfortunate consequence of capitalism. You don't get good things, you get things that make money
But there is a lot of wasteful spending in healthcare such as private insurance company profits, medical malpractice lawsuit costs, administrative costs of a messy system.
Add the ever growing obesity problem in the US on top. These are some of the main things really driving up the cost but not all.
