The New System
Healthcare is often seen as a social welfare topic, and in many ways it is. Yet, so much goes into it that it can not be spoken of or addressed solely in that light. The fact is, healthcare very neatly falls under the umbrella of infrastructure. So, ideally, our universal healthcare system will be at least loosely based on the NHS. We can monitor their system and adjust our own to fix or avoid any new issues that come up. The federal government will collect taxes from the populace. This income will compose the budget for our healthcare. The feds will also set the general policy for the system, adjusting it to the new times and knowledge available. They will provide pharmaceuticals by selecting the most affordable and effective manufacturer to be used in all instances where the drugs are necessary. It is an aspect of the system that the US already employs heavily from defense to road building. Data will be collected from the states to ensure that all policy changes are well-educated
