I wish we'd just say ok, people like Medicare, let's drop the age of enrollment by 1 year every year for ten years and see how that goes. If that works out, drop the age of enrollment by 2 years every year for the next ten years. Then figure it out from there. Could start as a paid option rather than just lowering the age when you get coverage based on work history, too.
Maybe something for children too, start with making Medicaid or something automatic for the first N months of life, and increase it every year too.
