America’s Plan organizes civic work around specific issues. The Issue Pipeline describes how that process works.
But this project is new and there is little real participation at the moment. These hubs are blocked out with AI generated information and are waiting for interested parties to take charge.
Healthcare and the Profit System: These nine hubs are grouped together because they document different dimensions of the same underlying problem — a healthcare system where profit is the organizing principle and patients bear the cost. Each hub covers a distinct part of the system, but they share a common thread that makes them more coherent as a cluster than as individual entries scattered across the issues index.
