Check out the list from Nursing Online Education Database:
For us healthcare folks, these are probably pretty well-known and maybe even assumed. But for the general public, these are the issues that need to be raised.
Are there other issues that need to be on this list? Patient Safety/medical errors (sort of tied to #4)? Medicare bankrupt in our lifetime?

This is indeed the list! It is a list that shows up in many places from my research.
It is also a challenge because many of the people, including Veterans who are having difficulty are in a vicious cycle of not being able to maintain their own home or afford housing.
I am publishing shortly a case study on Calhoun County's new 10 year strategy to end homelessness.
The health issues highlighted here are the health issues of people who are homeless and who cannot afford prescriptions.
The hidden issue basic to all of this is the lack of living wage employment and homes in which these people can live.
These are the people who do not eat right, don't have access to prescriptions and good health care and have no insurance and it goes on and on.
