Let’s assume we want all people to have health care. What are the steps / methods most likely to get us there?

In the U.S. seems like we’re a long way from that goal. I’m curious about chunking down the big goal into smaller steps. Interested to hear perspectives from other countries too.

    Get all the people you want to have universal health care, to want universal health care. If you want it for them, sell it to them.

    The only thing ever stopping any policy from existing is vote counts. Convince others that universal healthcare is in their best interests. If you’ve tried that and failed, take steps to improve your communication skill and try again.

      A 57% majority of Americans say the government should ensure health coverage. Of course then 53% say the system should be based on private insurance, which is contradictory.

      Another factor to consider here is people don’t vote directly for policies. They vote for legislators who then decide which policies are a priority, and can interpret for themselves, right or wrong, what it is their constituents voted them in to do.

        Great! That means you haven’t reached 43% of Americans. Keep pushing, you can do it!
