Providing Hospital Advisors
Many immigrants don't understand the American healthcare system. The government should provide an advisor who speaks multiple languages who can guide family members who don't understand the hospital and healthcare system.
Q1: A) Finding sponsorship for the ability to provide advisors
B) Getting support and signatures to appeal
C) Creating a well organized system to provide advisors on a wide scale throughout the U.S.
Idea Description
When my father fell from a ladder and required extensive surgery, he was transported to the Stanford Medical Hospital. Both my parents are Taiwanese born immigrants who do not have a solid grasp of the English language. Thus, when given pain medication and treatments, my parents would simply nod their heads because they didn't understand what was happening. Only until a family friend of ours explained in Taiwanese dialect what was going on did my mother complain about not giving consent to many of the treatments. The government should provide an advisor who can speak foreign dialects and explain each process and treatment that a patient is undergoing to family members.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Appeal to hospitals and government authorities to pass a law requiring the government or hospital to provide a medical advisor who can speak and understand the dialect/s of the family that asks for help. If there is no approval, then I will take steps to being a foundation that trains or hires such medical advisors to provide for immigrant families or families who do not understand the american healthcare system.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
