How do we get everyone on the same page, equally committed to creating a better health care system?
Who can unite each aspect involved, representing all sides of the issues, so that everyone can have equal voice?
Who can articulate the vast diversity of health care in a way that creates a positive change?
A humanitarian effort is underway at the Helfgottblog, we like to call it: The Vivid Health care Plan. 
It’s based upon a similar response to organize the food industry in California called the Vivid Picture Project. As far as we’re concerned the momentum necessary for health care reform does not have to be abrupt, nor does it require an unseating of industry position, it merely requires an adjustment to each entity within the system so that everyone benefits, and health care can be provided in an effective, efficient, and altruistic manner.
With health care costs rising, and with political parties actively discussing health care reform, the Vivid Health care Plan is a necessary entity designed with the sole purpose to make health care work.
The Vivid Health care Plan has its own page, you can access it from our “pages” section on the left of our homepage. Our efforts are quickly expanding, eventually including resources, references, and surveys for the various aspects of the health care community, so that all facets are addressed. The basic idea is to use Portland as a starting point, organizing our efforts as a viable system in order to serve the needs of our community. To make Portland’s health care system functional in every aspect would serve as a valuable model for other communities searching for affordable and sustainable health care.
It’s as simple as hearing everyone out– from the grassroots of community to the wheat shaft of big business to the tall columns of Washington DC. Democracy is built for the people by the people. Let’s make the dream of functional health care a reality.
