It will probably start in the states, spread, and eventually become universal care.

Vermont, Oregon, Wisconsin, and California are some potential early adopters.

Canada took almost 16 years--from 1946 to 1962.

I'm 44, and I'm hoping I live to see it and benefit from it--and not just a death benefit.
