My solution to the Healthcare crisis

Medical Bulbouts. A bulbout branches off the main route of a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)on the street. Each medical clinic is a three car, specialty clinic, complete with healthcare professional. Clinics set up in medical bulbout to gain huge transportation efficiencies by minimizing the movements of their patients. Got this idea from DeLong, somewhere.

This savings in medical transportation costs goes directly into the income pool for the health professional. So we can have pharmacy mobiles, appearing every to often to fill out prescriptions near the center of people.

More innovative uses of intelligent traffic management compounds the efficiency gains.

Another example is the bike car, a car on a three car RBT. Built to allow the biker to roll into the car with his bike. Special variations, each low in cost, each gaining advantage from increasing road intelligence. Special freight bulbouts, another.
