Sustainable healthcare and insurance in the U.S.

Meanwhile, congressional and executive leaders have sought to repeal/replace the act. What should an improvement of the U.S. health care system look like? Are the alternatives any more sustainable or accessible than the status quo? What is our responsibility as individuals, small groups and communities in mitigating the surging costs?
