Hot damn: Biden rolls out Medicare and student debt proposals

102. I've said this since Day 1.

Strengthen the ACA, automatically enact Medicaid expansion in all states and territories, drop Medicare enrollment age by 2 years each year until age 50 and then revisit the situation. Finally, open CHIPS to all children born in the US and its territories without an income cap. Paperwork would be filed alongside a birth certificate or social security number. All children would be automatically covered at birth with the possibilty of maybe a copay by income at the dr office. Final step would be automatic coverage of all pregnant women in Medicaid for pregnant women.

Everything needs to be in increments. It isn't as sexy but it would be stronger and much easier to do.

(I also would like to see WIC expanded to all, regardless of income. The first pregnancy appointment at the dr would include applications for Medicaid for pregnant women and WIC. Baby's application would be part of hospital paperwork at birth. Upon enrollment into kindergarten would be automatic enrollment into free lunch program, regardless of income. Nutrition plays an important role in health and should fit hand in glove with a medical plan.)
