What problem would you like to solve?

Allowing people who don't have access to insurance to go to a facility where they feel they are well taken care of.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Because it would help end the idea of ¨healthcare is a privilege¨. Or provide health services to undocumented people who are afraid to reach out for resources.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Allowing people to pay cash or to get the same quality of health care that people with insurance are provided. Also allowing young students and volunteers to use the program as a way to explore the medical field (this would help take away some of the cost).

Who would that help?

People who don't have access to insurance or undocumented people.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Brooklyn
