Single-payer?
Is the Canada system like the UK system? Or do you have insurance in Canada?
It is.
In the UK, you don’t have any bills. You don’t pay anything when you go into the doctor’s. It’s the same?
What are you redesigning?
It would be a QR code, or no, it would be something more involved?
I met with people in Hong Kong that are building this whole system that I hope we can work with them to make it more data dignified for people, because they’re pulling in lots of different data. It’s a regenerative medicine company.
Maybe I can put you in touch because they’re working with, or have lots of clinics in China and Hong Kong.
Is there something with the QR code that...I imagine there must be some identity problems where people, would they ever share? I guess if everybody has it, you don’t have that problem if everybody is covered...
...sharing the QR code.
I actually haven’t used Apple Pay, so I don’t know, or WeChat. [laughs]
I’ve used that, but not on the phone. Only from the computer.
I’d love to hear more or see more stories, some more examples.
Definitely. Do you have any ideas on or have you been speaking to people about...?
Interesting. It OPAL here or are they in other places?
It is, OPAL.
Oh, yeah, Sandy Pentland from...
Joi Ito is there?
Great, thank you. I think it’s more important to get all the people that are thinking about these things together, rather than compete.
It’d be good to have somebody from RadicalxChange get involved.
Yeah, I agree. How are we on time?
Oh, OK. That’s great. We talked about internally, for RadicalxChange, having leadership elections, I think, every year. I don’t know if it will be done at the conferences, which won’t be exactly a year.
I don’t know.
I don’t know. That’s something we’re thinking about, and also, whether you have elections of the board, because then, they would elect the new leadership at the executive level, and so on. There’s this kind of discussion that...
Yeah, exactly.
I agree. Does he think it is?
I agree, unless they were valued differently, or only for certain elections, certain...
Can I see that page right there?
What is this supposed to be?
What happens at the Presidential Hackathon?
Really?
Like machines in a hospital.
Great. How long has that been going on?
Who picks the topics?
They create the topics?
Right, so these were independently proposed by the Hackathon groups.
I wasn’t sure if these topics were things, "OK, this is what we want to work on. Everybody choose one." I didn’t if there were specific focuses already.
These don’t go to waste. They find somewhere to work.
Do you know Gov Labs?
There’s an event coming up in Berlin in August that I can’t go to. I’m not going to be in Berlin. They want to have RadicalxChange presence.
Do you know anybody that would, that could speak to the Gov Labs?
Yes. That’s the only one I’m aware of.
Yeah.
It’s the Web3 Summit. Is there WiFi access?
They want to talk about quadratic voting and data as labor with, oh, dGov, sorry not GovLab.
Yes.
There is one, but leadership has changed since the first meeting. A lot of the people were involved with the conference, so we got all too busy. We’re going to restart but with more Germans hopefully involved this time and more diverse...
Yes, so I should find somebody from that community.
You will?
Yes. Great. That’s good. I’ll be there at that time.
