One of the things that strikes me about the current "healtcare debate" in the US is that it almost always focuses quite narrowly on the issues of who pays what and how. No doubt, money is important, but I think this game illustrates that there are many other ways to improve health care in the US. Other games might include chosing tradeoffs for personal health...what is the lifelong impact of various behaviors. Another might encourage various practitioners to take a more overall SYSTEMS view of the human being. Sometimes, too many specialists can order so many tests that it overwhelms the physical and mental health of the patient and their support systems.

Anyway, this is a fascinating start.
