Since the New Deal, U.S. health and social policy has steadily expanded entitlements and coverage (Roosevelt, Kerr-Mills, Medicare/Medicaid, SCHIP, Bush's Medicare drug benefit), and now that nearly everyone is covered, the era of expanding rights gives way to an era of paying bills the government cannot afford—so the eventual solution must look very different, likely removing the employer tax deduction and letting insurance markets vary coverage, or else resembling Britain's system.
