The US, with their excellent medical system , has an opportunity to have the best health care and social assistance in the world. All that is needed is a Guaranteed Annual Income for the poor. Then all Americans could run their own lives with the health coverage that they wanted. The poor living where they wanted, not in government housing. What a break.

Social assistance and government housing would no longer be required. Tremendous saving on maintenance of housing. 

Canada could do the same thing. Some people would call it ground breaking however it just would be extending the coverage by the private sector to all our needs and wants. 

The private sector does so well everywhere it is allowed to  work.
