Even if this disaster ends tonight, it will be weeks before the air transport network recovers fully. Thanksgiving is FUBAR’d for most who were hoping to fly.
Which means the roads will be a mess.

What if a US health plan mirrored Canada's public benefits?
We tried to design one: The "USA-Medicare Core" plan.
✅ $0 Deductible
✅ $0 Copay for Doctor Visits
✅ $0 Copay for Hospital Stays
❌ BUT... no Rx, dental, or vision coverage (just like Canada's core public system)
