The problems we have are not a result of staffing or money, they are caused by inefficient systems that need to be completely revamped. Too many very well paid people sit in useless administrative positions. The ideological resistance to privatization and multi tiered options are also ensuring that resources are never as efficiently used as they could be.
If the system is going to get better people have to start looking at options from other countries and stop fixating on the US.

So many great options out there to emulate, but AHS is more worried about saving friends and family jobs. Until the house is swept clean nothing will happen. I worked for the Feds during Harpers sweep, our dept. of about 90 people was told to cut around a dozen cannot remember exactly. When the breakdown came it was tradesmen and a couple of helpers that lost their jobs. The middle management protected themselves real well. Our shop ended up with 5 tradesmen and 2 supervisors. How does that make sense. But in government lots is possible if you are in management. .
