Make America Well Again

I believe that the United States should have a universal healthcare plan. I think that will allow Americans to live a longer, healthier life and be more productive in their everyday affairs.

Sadly, the skies overhead are grey. The Congressional Budget Office reported that 16 million people will lose their health insurance coverage under Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, either through cuts to Medicaid or expiring tax credits for Obamacare health plans. For every eight people you pass by on the street in 2034, one of them will not have health insurance.

At this time President Trump holds the whip hand; the debate about universal healthcare is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the general public. So what better time than now to start from Square One and reimagine a universal healthcare plan that fits our nation’s needs—an affordable plan the American people will buy into, one that will make America well again!

But first, the raw numbers. The National Health Expenditures are a series of 30 tables put out by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that furrow deep into the underbelly of our current healthcare system. Boring, yes, but beneath all the data are answers to who pays what, for what, and for how much? More important it raises the question: “What works and what doesn’t?”

My ambition is to graph the salient points of each table and tell my readers what the latest research says about those numbers. Hopefully, by connecting all the dots, the contours of a Made-for-America universal healthcare plan will begin to emerge.

2028 will be here before you know it.
