So... perhaps if we'd had a better goal 50 years ago - single payer or universal medicare or whatever you want to call it - we'd have decades of technical debt that propped up a fairer system, instead of an unfairer one?

Perhaps we need to change our goals today so that 20-30 years from now things will be better then?

I wonder if it is possible to design regulations with the intent that they may change and the data may require reformatting. At least a best standards practice of how these regulations should be written should be possible.
