What do you think is broken in Health Care?

If we have arguably the best healh care in the world, then why does it feel like a broken system? Physicians, nurses and alot of the health care staff are experiencing burnout. I suspect patients are feeling the same way.

So if the system is broken, how would you suggest we fix it? From a patients perspective, what needs to change?

Thoughts?
