Healthcare System Expansion: $400B

⚠ 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

Total healthcare spending rises $28B with hospital expansions, staffing increases, and system modernization. Chain: healthcare_spending -> wait_times (-0.35, d1) + infant_mortality (-0.20, d2) + health_spending_pct_gdp (+0.10, d1) + workforce_productivity (+0.10, d4) + life_expectancy (+0.15, d20). Wait times respond first, mortality drops next, productivity rises later, life expectancy is the generational payoff.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 33). 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.
