Do you feel some version of nationalized health insurance is the answer to providing for the underserved?
"I would love a one-payer system, but that's selfish, because I'm just thinking about simplifying the entire billing process. For the underserved, however, while it may help them, it may also stifle innovation, which is what capitalism does best. So I have to admit that whatever ways it ends up going, there are tradeoffs, and we need to make sure the tradeoffs aren't at the expense of any demographic."
"This is so complex an issue, which is why it has never been solved. I would like to see something to bridge the gap for the underserved, such as a Medicare or Medicaid 'buy-in' for anyone who doesn't have private insurance."
This is similar to the question about how you will impact the health care system, but it's even more political and more financially sensitive to the facility's bottom line sensibility, so answer thoughtfully. The same advice stands--come off as caring for the betterment of society, without taking sides--just in case there is a right or a wrong side according to your interviewer.
"As long as there are medically underserved, there will be a need for something other than the current system, although I'm referring to something to fill the gap, not replace the whole system."
