From 1906 -1994 the US tried innumerable times to pass different versions of NHI and failed. Ultimately, some of what was attempted was passed with the Social Security Act, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIPs, and a host of other programs. Much was included in the ACA, with some aspects removed in the Trump years. Efforts are now underway to improve the ACA, and we have gone full circle to today.
