It’s hard to believe that nearly half of voters in the US want four more years of chaos. Given the divide, maybe it’s time to take a page from Medicare and offer states different plan options. In doing so, it would allow states with similar interests to work together toward mutual goals.
Plan A would provide basic coverage that every state would be required to have, and it would be paid for through the lowest tax rate. Plan B would offer additional benefits at a higher tax rate. And Plan C would be like Medicare Advantage and offer a comprehensive benefits package at still a higher rate of taxation.
