A reasonable solution has always been the “medicare for all” concept: just lower the eligibility age by a couple of years every year. Going from 65 to 0 would have taken just over thirty years, and if this had been implemented in the '90s when it was first suggested we’d have universal healthcare by now. Hilary Clinton was lauded for pushing for universal healthcare when her husband was president, but apparently she wanted instant universal healthcare and fought the “medicare for all” contingent. I don’t think she was as responsible for bad shit as is often made out, but it’s pretty clear that she didn’t help in this case.
