maybe a spell should be better than what any schmuck can make and/or use.

Ummm, not following you.

Yeah, my personal houserule has always removed the limitation and just let them distribute the healing. It is just faster than figuring out what everyone's 50% mark is.

Given that Bloodied is now a condition again, maybe that 50% figure will be tracked on the character sheet.

I'd say Healing Word is better. Yes, it heals for the same amount as a basic potion, and both take a bonus action, but the Healing Word having a 60 ft range is pretty nice

Might not have reliable access to healing potions....

Or be conscious to use it.
