Between Scalpel and State

The United States faces a collapsing healthcare system where insurance no longer guarantees care, only paperwork and debt.
President Jack Goodwin, a former outsider turned leader, launches Goodwin Care, a hybrid reform that keeps private insurance but adds a federal safety net to ensure access to essential treatment. It is a political and structural gamble meant to fix a broken system without fully replacing it.
Despite fierce opposition calling it socialism, Goodwin wins the presidency by framing the crisis as a matter of survival over ideology.
As the reform rolls out, the medical system begins to shift. Young doctors and many surgeons support the change, while industry forces resist the disruption.
At the center is you, an orthopedic surgeon and the President’s son in law, asked to judge the reform from real hospital experience. Your perspective becomes a key test of whether Goodwin Care can succeed in reality.
In that moment, healthcare reform becomes no longer theory, but consequence.
