National Health Care 3

.
Most of the time the advocates of national health care have taken an all or nothing approach. Medicare being the huge counter example. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if they had taken a gradual approach at other times?

After Medicare was done in the sixties what if the supporters of national health care had simply extended it to children under 18? There were several times in the seventies and nineties when the Democrats controlled the President, Senate and HR. Kids are not too expensive and an equal opportunity argument could have been made.

Maybe next you could include all of those who had ever been in the military service for the country for 5 years. Then their families.

Now imagine the consequences. After they passed 18 all of those people would be accustomed to having had health care all of their life.

Surely they would be more inclined to support a full scale "medicare for all."
