Access to childcare could be improved in low income communities
By Hicbd
3 strategies could improve access to childcare in low income communities:
1. More centralized enrollment points could be developed at nonprofits where families are already seeking services
2. A universal application could be developed for all childhood development services in an area to make it easier to apply and learn about all the programs and services a family could be eligible for
3. Eligibility requirements could be aligned across providers to have simple, clear eligibility forms, and documentation requirements

By Hicbd
Major league sport teams in the U.S. could have to compete for a place in the top national league in order to prevent lackadaisical owners from not investing in talent and the teams’ overall competitiveness. There could be multiple league levels as in European soccer.

Financial rewards for / selling human organs could be legal
By Hicbd
"Economists Gary Becker and Julio Jorge Elias argue that monetary incentives would increase the supply of organs for transplant sufficiently to eliminate the very large waiting lists for organs, and the suffering and deaths of many of those waiting, without increasing the total cost of transplant surgery by more than 12 percent." Iran allows the sale of kidneys, and has no waiting lists.

An opt-out system could encourage organ donations
By Hicbd
People's who do not want to donate could make it known by directive, through a family objection, or in a state computer registry. In addition, presumed consent could change people's perceptions towards donating organs.

A wristband or timer could could improve handwashing rates
By Hicbd
Hyginex is an integrated soap-dispensing-and-wristband-alert system that alerts doctors to wash their hands and tells them if they have not washed theirs hand well enough. In addition, the wristband keeps a detailed log of hand-cleaning compliance for managers to review.
