For what it's worth, the ACA was pretty successful before it was slowly gutted by the current administration. Around 12M people signed up at its peak. Generally, incremental changes are better than a "perfect" solution that comes in a lot later.

I agree in regards to health care that incremental changes may be the only to achieve universal coverage.

However, the gutting of the policies by another administration is what scares me in regards to MMT. I'm not sure that incremental changes work with monetary policy. MMT in particular seems like it needs some big, systematic levers in order to actually function properly.

That being said, I'm happy to be wrong about this. MMT being viable would open a more clear path to something like universal health care.
