As an adult I realize that while I still want it, changing the entire medical industry in the US cannot be done in one term of a president, it’s a long slow process, and if everyone was on board and everything got passed immediately it would still take at least 30 years to turn the ship around so to speak.

Agreed, but the point being that it takes more than a day or a year to upend an entire industry.
