My hubby forwarded this screenshot to me from a GTNH Discord server and I feel it is valuable advice for anyone struggling with American healthcare.

An only slightly less impractical pan would be to get 1 or 2 lawyers who can train non lawyer volunteers and occasionally advise.

But finding even those 1 or 2 who have the necessary expertise and are willing/able to participate will be a challenge.

Have you ever been involved in a project like this at any level?

I helped to organize a couple protests back when I was in college, but I haven't done fundraising or nonprofit organisation. I volunteered to hand out food donations to impoverished families locally but I didn't organize in that case.

OK step 1 on this plan is to get involved in something that works in a similar way so you can get some perspective on the task you are proposing.

I promise you: the reason this doesn't exist already is not because nobody's ever had the idea.

For that matter, maybe it does exist. Step 0 is to find out for sure if it already exists, even if it sucks. Or if it ever existed. You'll want to know about that.
