The ideal outcome from this would be comprehensive health care reform in the US, probably including single-payer health care for all Americans. Neither major party will support it and even though a majority of Americans support it, they don't know how to use the democratic system to get it. All of the republican party and 75 percent of Democrats will take health industry money to preserve the status quo. The few progressive Democrats who actually attempt to take this on will have to fight most of their own party, and they can never win that way. Americans are also rather easily distracted.

Unfortunately the most likely outcome of this whole thing is, within a small margin of error, nothing.

Agree politically but disagree when it comes to stochastic terrorism. The people are fed up and the government has been out to brunch for decades.
