Overview

A $16B increase in hospital funding: new surgical suites, emergency departments, diagnostic equipment, and staffing. Chain: hospital_spending -> healthcare_spending (+0.30, d1). Hospital spending is the single largest component of healthcare spending — this tests the accounting identity pass-through in the model.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 45). 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.

How to Engage

Discuss this flightplan in the Pond forum under Healthcare. Vote on adoption through Consensus. Adopted flightplans become projects with real-world implementation tracking.
