My sub-problem is the rising costs of healthcare 1. The two solutions being proposed for the chosen sub-problem. a. Lowering the costs of medication and medical operations. b. Make health care facilities easily accessible to all.

2. A description of how the sub-problem can be solved, and the rationale and research supporting each solution. a. In general the issue of the rising costs of healthcare could be fixed by one simple solution. That solution is free healthcare.

One of the things that is stopping America from gaining free healthcare is insurance companies. If there was free healthcare there would be no need for health insurance. So what insurance companies do is they “donate” and lobby to politicians. The solution to this issue would be to stop corporate funding and donations to politicians. This would probably mean revamping our whole idea of what democracy is and how it should work in our country. It’s true that before the time of the internet and our ability to harness radio and light waves that a representative democracy was necessary. However, that is no longer the case. We have the ability for every individual to be equally represented in our democracy. So why not do it? Because corporations would lose profit. i. Sources below b. After healthcare has been made free and corporate funding was made illegal most of the other issues would simply dissolve. Seeing that big pharma corporations would also not be allowed to fund politicians the costs of medications would go down as well. c. The only other issue that would still need to be solved is making healthcare facilities easily accessible to all. There have been many solutions put forward for this but my favorite one is relocating funds from the military and police to building and maintaining healthcare facilities. i. Source below 3. An explanation of how prioritization was involved in designing each solution. a. The way that I prioritize my solutions was by thinking, “what needs to happen for this next thing to happen?” By thinking in this way it was clear to me that in order to make healthcare easily accessible there would have to be funds relocated from somewhere. It was clear to me that in order to make healthcare free, first corporate funding had to be outlawed. And in

order to make corporate funding our democracy would have to be reshaped.

4. An explanation of how both solutions to the sub-problem play a role in solving the larger problem. a. My original topic was the rising costs of life saving medications in America.

To solve this problem takes a lot of solving of smaller problems. The smaller problems that I focused on were making healthcare more easily accessible and lowering the cost of medication. Of course for each problem there is always a sub-problem (which for me were corporate funding and relocation of funds for healthcare facilities) and there are always smaller problems for those problems. But if we want to take steps in the right direction we have to start somewhere. So I started there.
