To the extent that our needs are “actively shoot ourselves in the foot slightly less often”, there’s the question of why we currently shoot ourselves in the food. I suspect it’s because of the incentives that are produced by the current policies.
This is true. But ideally I don’t think what we need is to be clever, except to the extent that it’s a clever way to communicate with people so they understand why the current policies produce bad incentives and agree about changing them.
If that’s your theory of change, how do you think that communication should work? Who could be tasked with creating the right communication so that it will work?
I think our collective HHS needs are less “clever policy ideas” and more “actively shoot ourselves in the foot slightly less often.”
