TalkBack Hotline
Tell us your plan by calling (609) 415-0204

Here's the situation. You have been given a Trillion Dollar Coin to use any way you wish to improve health care in the U.S. What would you do? There are unlimited possibilities. Here are just a few basic ideas to prime the pump.

  • Give money to medical research organizations (Cancer, Alzheimers, etc.)
  • Build more/better hospitals
  • Fund the U.S. health care system (Obamacare)
  • Fund Medicare/Medicaid
  • Give endowments to medical schools for scholarships and grants
  • Build more/better elderly care facilities
  • Buy a pharmaceutical company and hand pick its new CEO
  • Provide capital to promising life science startups

One trillion dollars is 1,000 parcels of one billion dollars each. How you divide it up and who it goes to is your call.

Call our TalkBack hotline at (609) 415-0204 and tell us your plan. We'll publish some of the responses on this blog and on our social media channels. Keep your response on topic and non-promotional, please.

Be bold. Be brilliant.
