IMPROVE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

1. INCREASE SPEND ON PRIMARY HEALTH CARE :- Huge investment in primary health care leads to less health care costs and better health outcomes. Health care advisors and leaders must emphasize and focus on an increase in U.S. health care spend on primary care from 4–6% to the 15–25% for better Health care.

2. HEALTH CARE INSURANCE:- Health insurance plans should allow primary care visits without a deductible, or at least a limited number without a deductible.

4. STOP FOCUSING ON "SICK CARE" :- Health care leaders and advisors must shift the nation’s “sick care” approach to care that is preventative and essential.

5.The Health care system should be made more coordinated and the management system should be improved.
