Very few people are opposed to universal health care. All universal healthcare means is that we have a society where everyone can get the health care they need. Who is opposed to that? Even the most antigovernment Republicans and Libertarians can support that.The questions are how, and and paid for by whom?In practice, universal health care requires some degree of government involvement. Contrary to political myth popular in the US at the moment, this does not mean government has to pay for everything (single payer) and this is not how it is commonly achieved in the developed world. But it does mean that government has to take responsibility to make sure that everyone has healthcare by some means, financed in some way. Americans are sort of for that, but not really. Here is a Gallup poll of historical trends on the number of people who believe government has the responsibility for all Americans having healthcare:Now notice a couple of things about this. In the early years of the twentyfirst century, a solid majority of Americans were in favour of this idea of universal health care, up to two thirds at the apex in 2007 polling. Then suddenly, support for the fundamental proposition dropped very quickly to below fifty percent. Why? What happened then?Hopefully folks asking this question know that what happened then is that Congress and the President started having serious talks of making universal healthcare possible, or at least taking a major step in that direction. And an awful lot of Americans, a majority it turns out, did not like what they saw. What had been an abstract ideal asked in a polling question turned into a real world question that effected them personally. When confronted with this reality, and that it might not be such a good thing for their own selves, support for the idea of universal healthcare plummeted to less than half. Oh, and they also kicked the Democrats out of power in large numbers just six months later. Oh, and Republicans succeeded in gaining full political control of government running in large part on this one issue. The support didn’t start improving a bit until Republicans handled repeal so incompetently.These are the hard, cold, political facts about universal healthcare in the US. Those that tell you a majority of Americans want single payer are cherry picking the data. Most Americans like their own healthcare and don’t want to lose it. Obama knew that. Trying to reassure Americans that they wouldn’t lose their healthcare was a mantra of Obama’s when he was trying to sell the public on his plan. And he suffered politically when it wasn’t true. This is why single payer in the US is a pipe dream now. Not even Democrats want single payer. Even politicians who have latched on to the word “single payer” don’t always mean it, and when polled, respondents that are for it don’t always understand what the heck it means. Opinion | ‘Don’t Get Too Excited’ About Medicare for All . A miracle Democrat retaking of government in 2020 does not mean that “Medicare for All” will become law. And it is not because of the big bad healthcare lobby shaking in their boots.The healthcare industry made out well with the ACA. They even had decent growth during the recession, when the rest of the country was swimming in red ink. No, the problem is that most, not all, Americans already have health insurance and healthcare they like, and is affordable, to them, because it is heavily subsidized by either government or their employers. 70–80% of Americans are satisfied with their healthcare. 60% find their own healthcare costs affordable. And while the ACA did some good things, and made a world of difference for some people, most Americans didn’t feel it helped them.So, the lesson is, don’t read too much into soaring poll figures when people don’t have skin in the game. If you want universal healthcare, you better do it recognizing that the US is very large, and very diverse, socially, culturally, politically, and economically. And most of all, Americans do not want to lose the healthcare, or even the health insurance, they have.I am glad that Senator Sanders inflamed some passion for health care reform. Some one needed to. My fear is that the “Medicare for All” drum beaters will become so doctrinaire they will suffer the same fate as the “repeal and replace” sloganers in the Republican Party. The enemy of the good is the perfect.To my mind, the best path forward is a state administered public option with federal funding, tied to meeting particular targets, such as lowering uninsured rates to below certain percentages. That and patience. The Medicaid expansion has continued to grow over the last four years, helped in part by waivers to allow states more latitude in meeting their local needs. The marketplaces have not been a rousing success in rural red states, which isn’t surprising as they are best suited to urban blue states. Letting states have more flexibility with them might be helpful. Including a public option, funded with the subsidy money we now give to private insurance companies, would be even better. But in a democracy, trying to impose a system that most people don’t want is a recipe for political failure.

There’s much to imagine. The following is a mix of hope, concern, and speculation. I give several examples below of what already exists, but may scale up over the next two decades.Adaptive/contingent learning; retrainingA Marketplace article discussed a company that, in 2007, DARPA partnered with Silicon Valley contractor Acuitus to use AI to model the best tutoring situations with U.S. naval recruits. The screen-based training that they came up with trained IT system administrators made experts in months rather than years. They could keep each student in that optimal zone between frustratingly fast and boringly slow. And when students got stuck, the computer came up with just the minimum hint to figure it out. After 4 or 5 months, new navy recruits were outperforming people who’d been with the navy for 7–10 years.This sort of thing might be scalable to different subjects and to all levels of grade school. It could help revitalize rural areas by allowing them to train into technical fields in which they otherwise wouldn’t be able to get experience. It could address dying towns looking for a new industry, making retraining far more compressed than historically while giving access to lucrative technology jobs.04/21/2017: Rage against the machines - MarketplaceAbout us — ACUITUSMarvin Grosswirth and Abbie Salny report in “The Mensa Genius Quiz Book 2” (1983) of a Mensa member who taught math to 6th-graders. The students were on such a wide spectrum of starting points that she gave each one their own individual weekly plan—a “contract,” she called them. Students worked on their own, at their own pace. She used much material from elsewhere, and it took a lot of time (this was late ‘70s, early ‘80s), but the self-direction was highly successful. The weak students succeeded, avoiding an oppressive sink-or-swim situation. The top students were doing trig by the time the year was out.This will be at odds with administrators’ impression that group work provides valuable socialization. When admins see the computer-based learning gives them far better results to boast to school boards and parents about, they will yield.I would like to see the programming for such personalized instruction to be able to go backward, if the student’s scores indicate it, and show more visual instruction. For example, a short clip could play to make a point clearer, if it’s discovered the text or drawings were inadequate to make the point clear. The lower the score, the higher the proportion of review is visual. Yes, it’s putting out fires, but good programming should be responsive to a belated discovery of a student’s knowledge being fragile.I do wonder how such instruction could be automated, though. The DARPA-Acuitus collaboration used AI, but that entails using a lot of trials from which the machine can learn. Over a decade later, Acuitus is still training their software with workers who are hired just for a few months, to use the software. I’m not sure how AI did anything for Acuitus that a person couldn’t have done, and I’m not sure, considering their still hiring trainers for their IT product, they’ve really found scalability yet.Rural; retrainingIncreasing federal support of public-private partnerships between community colleges and businesses will increase the proportion of community colleges geared toward vocational training. Graduation rates at community colleges will go up. Average tuition costs will go down. Retraining will, therefore, becoming less of a dirty word in regions that are losing their mining or manufacturing industry to automation, natural gas, etc.. Young people will lose the mindset that they should be able to do the same work their fathers and grandfathers did as barriers to other opportunities diminish.Also, towns with no traffic lights will get wired to high-speed Internet, allowing remote regions to enjoy the spoils of the tech boom, which has otherwise been geographically concentrated.The One-Traffic-Light Town with Some of the Fastest Internet in the U.S.The Power of Free Community CollegeThe Case for Community CollegeClickbait/MisinformationClickbait and misinformation may or may not be as much of a problem in 20 years. Maybe the tech giants will figure out a way to fight it by then. People in poor countries (like Veles, Macedonia) will have incentives to undermine the political learning of wealthier democracies. I don’t know if grade-school teachers will sufficiently inoculate students against misleading information by then. I predict people will still be paid handsomely to mislead others in two decades.I suspect that as the U.S. gets more wired, checking facts will become easier for those who are getting their information largely through, say, AM radio. Fact-checking will become more of a habit, leading to a citizenry better inoculated against misinformation campaigns. I suspect much of the success of misinformation campaigns is due to the difficulty of fact-checking.How Teens In The Balkans Are Duping Trump Supporters With Fake NewsWhy Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?High-school mathA second track of high-school math will arise: a pre-statistics course like UCLA’s piloted Introduction to Data Science (IDS), followed by a stat class. This will be for those who aren’t going into a STEM field, those who find algebra 2 a pons asinorum.OPINION: Getting every student on the right math pathwayOpinion: Modern high school math should be about data science — not Algebra 2Language requirementsAs technology encroaches on translation, the meaning of studying foreign language in high school will fade. This will be at odds with the world’s increasing globalization. Chinese will be offered in more high schools, but also some schools may recognize those more inclined toward math and technical sciences will be given a pass on the language requirement if they learn computer languages. The importance of seeing three types of programming languages at an early age (before college?) will be appreciated more, leading school administrators to consider the switch. Wired advises against it, reasoning that coding is a skill, not a language, but speaking a foreign language is a skill too, so I’m not sure I follow their distinction.Seriously, Stop Trying to Teach Toddlers How to CodeLabsThe distinction between data collection and lab design will be appreciated more and class time will place more emphasis on the latter, in an effort to promote abstract thought and design ability. This would be a logical extension of the design emphasis of the STEM initiative.How We Learned to Love the Pedagogical Vapor of STEMTeacher loan forgivenessTeachers currently take on up to $40k in debt to earn a master’s in education as a requirement to get certified. They can get the remainder of their debt erased by working for five years in a high-need school. The trend is that a teacher starts at a rough school and then graduates to a school that meets higher academic standards, after the teacher has worked out some kinks in their approach. So students in underprivileged schools get the new teachers while other schools get the seasoned teachers. I was told by an ed professor that 90% of the openings in NYC were in the Bronx, because of the high turnover rate there. But what if this were reversed? Suppose a teacher had to teach for five years before entering a loan forgiveness program, and had to work in a high-needs environment for several years after getting five years of experience elsewhere to get that waiver? Other countries send their better teachers where the problems are. Maybe the U.S. could try that too.Such an approach would be more of a Finnish approach than a sink-or-swim Bloomberg/Joel Klein approach. If a school needs more resources, give them more resources. It’s also a more Finnish approach in that the level of professionalism of the teacher in the needier schools would be higher. I often wished that I’d known what I know now when heading into the urban school I started out in, so that I could import what was figured out at better schools.Lessons of nope: Joel Klein fails to educate us on how to fix our schools10 reasons why Finland's education system is the bestCivicsThe U.S. may return to emphasizing civics. Only about a third of Americans can name all three co-equal branches of the federal government. I think both sides of the political divide see a need for increased understanding of how the U.S. government works.Computer science over codingOver time, schools may emphasize computer science over coding. The former is a broader subject, but it’s, of course, hard to get someone conversant in it to take a teacher’s salary. How this shifts may depend a great deal on the good folks at The College Board, including whether Java continues to be the preferred language in schools.As for IB’s CS curriculum, it’s really up to the teacher to make it meaningful and worthwhile. As IB spreads, maybe it will update itself. Since several IB textbooks are written by high-school teachers, I doubt they’ll find the resources to align it with student needs for college prep.
