Depends on what you mean by "half measures". One way we can dramatically improve the status quo is by decoupling health insurance from employment (effectively bringing the US to parity with Switzerland). Tactically speaking, it could conceivably be achieved by enacting a series of what some might consider "half measures": - Simply getting rid of the Federal employer mandate as well as the payroll tax deductibility for group health insurance premiums could go a long way. A lot of employers really don't want to be in the business of hiring monster HR teams that spend the majority of their time becoming health insurance experts... - Expanding ICHRAs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22527102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22527102) can also go a long way.
