Flying cars, skyscrapers through the clouds, meals-in-a-pill...but what of our precarious health care situation? We need universalized health insurance on a well-regulated privatized health care backbone. Smart cards seem like a great way to store information and track patients. Due to security flaws, it may be even better to combine this with biometric technology. Along the lines of telehealth medicine, there should be massive call centers with trained operators receiving calls 24/7. These calls should then be forwarded accordingly. For example, a patient complaining of mild symptoms should be forwarded to speak with a nurse. Furthermore, this private call center could contract out advanced care phone calls (i.e. nurses, dentists, PAs, doctors, etc.) so each time they receive a call, they would receive a consultation fee.
