To improve flawed public systems, the wealthy and influential should be required to use them rather than opting out through private alternatives. Journalist Hamilton Nolan argues that when the powerful are forced to experience the same inadequacies as everyone else, they will be motivated to push for improvements. “The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.”
