        Also, for the United States: Emergency Medicare for All. Do it now so people can get the care they need without worry. (And, like Daylight Saving Time, it might stick around).

        Like maybe it's just because of my situation (type 1 diabetic lol) but I feel like some price controls would be necessary too, just to prevent insurers and healthcare providers from going "We KNOW you've got extra money now, give it to us"

        Strict rent control provisions should be married to it, but yeah.

        It's so expensive that it would cripple our ability to take any further action which would handicap our response. We would be much better off targeting those that need it and investing in our healthcare infrastructure.
