There are pretty low-hanging fruit out there, though.
Approval voting or ranking are almost universally agreed to be better than what we have (in most places--some places do have that). That alone would make a huge change.
Independent districting commissions would be a big step forward.
Election day holidays would help.
Actually, a lot of the stuff in this proposed bill would help.
You're right that there's open questions out there, but it's not like there aren't solutions that are obvious first steps.
Re: healthcare, I think that's probably even more complicated than electoral reform. For example, missing from your example are cost-cutting measures, like requiring more transparency in pricing and charging, and deregulating certain things to increase competition.
