Lots of focus now around the flaws of the american healthcare system. What can we do now to ensure a better future?

Get involved with Mutual Aid groups.

Learn some basic First Aid.

Make connections with doctors and nurses who want to escape this broken system and get them involved with Mutual Aid groups.

This last part shouldn't be too hard, depending on where you live. I live in a progressive city with lots of doctors with good values who already do tons of charity work as it is. Getting them involved wouldn't be too difficult because they're likely already involved at some level. I've had doctors and dentists who volunteer at our free clinics for those without medical coverage, so it seems like taking the next step into Mutual Aid is probably something they're game for.
