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.

I mean with all the republicans competing to defend the most departments, 2024 might be our year. Then again there's a fuckload of people in the United States who still worship Reagan so who the hell knows.

Fuck I hope so this sucks. My mother just fucked up her ankle and refuses to go to the doctor because we can't afford it. I'm afraid it's gonna be something bad that ends up being permanent if she doesn't seek treatment. Makes me feel sick.
