Healthcare Surge: Wait Time Crisis

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

A $23B increase addresses the surgical backlog and wait time crisis. Targets OR capacity, diagnostic imaging, and specialist recruitment. Reduces ER pressure and improves workforce productivity.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 1). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
