My advice is to outline your entire business plan, then post it on CC so everyone can steal your idea and eventually be able to put “starting a non-profit” on their application.

But seriously, have you outlined what you want to do? I’d start with a formal plan. Ask yourself some of these questions:
-How will you go about cutting medical expenses? For example, will you just raise money and foot some of the cost, or will you make a deal with drug companies?
-How much money do you plan on raising? If you don’t plan on raising money, how much money do you need, if any, to execute your plan?
-Who will work for you? Where will you operate? How formal will your non-profit be?
-Will you get a website?
-If you plan on raising money, how will you go about that?
and the list goes on.

You could get advice from CC first, but don’t you want to foster your own creativity and innovation in coming up with this plan (which, I add, would be a kick-a** idea to write a college essay about)?
