There are a lot of good changes that she mentioned that could totally transform and better our health care system. I particularly liked her idea about people being able to access a residential drug treatment center through their health care insurance. There are many people out there seeking for help and they can't afford the costs of getting professional help. This would be one of the first things I'd introduce to a new health care system.
