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.

    That is not the problem in this country keeping us from public health care. With the money we saved transitioning to public health care away from private health care, we could fund the tuition of as many doctors as we wanted.

      It’s not tuition, but rather openings for students and residents. If you want more people to receive more health care, you need more doctor hours. Which means more doctors. Which means there need to be more spots in medical schools and residencies. These are currently scarce.

        In the same way other public services are funded, fund the education of your medical professionals like they do in other countries, and you will have plenty of doctors.

        Put the money saved by transitioning to public health care to good use.
