(I am not a Dr, and presumably much of this would be addressed by implementing electronic records. Nurses and med techs should be included among primary care givers.We need to build a lot of local clinical facilities to unburden Emergency Rooms. They should be focussed primarily on serious trauma and triage.It should not require a bullet wound to get into a hospital, and maybe we need to build some intermediate facilities for people who are making a transition, need only routine monitoring, or just some temporary living assistance.Trying to make Mayo or Cleveland clinics out of everything with the word 'hospital' in it's name is dumb-dumb.But beyond that, This should be the speech he gives.
