Given the White House and a supermajority in Congress + Supreme Court, what policies would you enact?

For example, I abso-fucking-lutely agree that U.S. “health care” needs, uh, health care.

But what changes would you make, and how would you enforce them?

I’ve discussed before my “Medicare for Most” plan, that would gradually shift the US from the ACA to Medicare for everyone.

The most insane health insurance system in the world is in the US

Back just before Biden was sworn in, I suggested that “Medicare for Most” should be the philosophy of his medical plans. The US already has a system in place for public funding of healthcare, the trick is to gradually get more and more people into this plan. Step one would be to end the medicare/medicaid split. Because Medicaid is directed primarily at poor children, it’s an easy target for anti-welfare sentiments. Make it all one program, and make entry requirements for new kids as easy as it…
