We recommend these first steps:

Step One | Reflect: What kind of health care future do you envision for the children in your life?  Write out your vision.  Post it.  Share it.

……………

Step Two | Consider: What are the key priorities in your vision? Complete a priorities exercise.  Use resource code chrw (all lower case, no spaces). Print your results. Compare them.  Share them.

……………

Step Three | Reach out:  Find a group vision for the future of U.S. health care that you can get behind.  Use it as a lens to evaluate proposed changes in health care.

Here’s one vision.  See how well it stacks up against yours.

If you don’t find a vision you like, work with others to create one!

…………..

Step Four | Shift the Culture: Engage  yourself and others in thinking about cultural forces that drive our current health care arrangement in the U.S.  and explore and brainstorm alternate ways of approaching things.  You’ll find the Culture Shift series in the resources section.
