National Pharmacare: Phase 1 Launch

⚠ 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

Universal single-payer pharmacare covering diabetes and contraception medications first, expanding to full formulary. Chain: pharmacare_spending -> healthcare_spending(-0.08, delay 4). Bulk procurement and reduced ER visits from medication non-adherence lower total system costs over time.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 21). 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.
