If you possessed magical, wizard-like powers akin to those of Dumbledore (i.e., a wonderful, kind-hearted wizard that mentored Harry Potter, one of the important wizards seen to date) and could transform the U.S. healthcare system with a single flick of your wand, what changes would you make, if any? Drawing on insights from Which Country Has the Best Healthcare? by Ezekiel Emanuel, consider the following questions as you design your ideal healthcare system: a) If given the chance to reform the U.S. healthcare system, would you model it after that of another country discussed in the book? Why or why not? Be specific about the features you would adopt and justify your decision using examples from the reading. b) Given that your wizarding powers do not include the ability to create money out of thin air, how would you finance this system within real-world economic constraints? What funding mechanisms would be both realistic and sustainable?
