'I'm In!' – Mark Cuban Asked, 'How Can I Solve Working-Class Problems?' And One Answer Kept Coming Up

Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur and Big Pharma disrupter turned heads when he posted a simple question on Bluesky: "Tell me how I can solve all the problems for the working class. I'm in!"

The responses poured in, with almost two thousand replies offering suggestions ranging from universal basic income to affordable housing. But one answer dominated the conversation – health insurance.

But what sparked this post in the first place? It came after a critical comment accused Cuban of hoarding his wealth and doing little to help others. The commenter called him a “megalomaniac” and claimed billionaires like him were “deserving of being overthrown.” Cuban responded by opening the floor to suggestions, signaling he wanted to do more.

Why Health Insurance?

Health insurance is still a vital but seriously broken aspect of life for many Americans. The cost of coverage, high deductibles, and surprise medical bills have left countless people struggling to afford basic care.

In the replies, people emphasized the need for a system prioritizing patients over profits. Some proposed nonprofit health insurance companies or systems where physicians, not corporate executives, make care decisions. Others pointed to models in countries like Canada or Finland, where universal health care eliminates patient financial barriers.

One user wrote, "Start a nonprofit health insurance company to go along with Cost Plus Drugs." Another one added, "Take away the profit motive and get back to the real purpose of health insurance."

Cuban's Track Record in Healthcare

Mark Cuban isn't new to helping with health care problems. His company, Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs, sells prescription medicines for way less than usual by cutting out middlemen and keeping prices fair. This has already saved people a lot of money.

Several respondents praised this effort but encouraged him to tackle the broader health care system next. As one person put it, "You've disrupted pharma. Now disrupt health insurance."

The Challenges of Reform

Of course, reforming health insurance is no small task. Many users pointed out systemic issues, such as the influence of private equity in health care and the complexities of existing laws. Some wondered if nonprofit models would even be feasible under current regulations.

Despite these challenges, the responses revealed a clear desire for someone with Cuban's resources and influence to lead the charge. As one person commented, "Patients over profits … desired outcomes over dividends … quality of life over quarterly reports."

A Broader Conversation

Health insurance wasn't the only suggestion. People also talked about raising the minimum wage, building affordable housing, and creating free public spaces like parks and libraries. But health care seemed to be the most urgent issue, with many believing Cuban could make a real difference.

While Cuban hasn't publicly responded to these suggestions yet, his track record shows he's willing to take bold steps when others won't. Whether it's lowering drug prices or asking open-ended questions about systemic change, Cuban's engagement has sparked meaningful conversations.

Could health insurance reform be his next big project? For now, the ball's in his court – and millions of working-class Americans are watching closely.
