Maybe you have access to some privileged information, or by "the plans" you mean this one piece of legislation specifically.

But I'm pretty sure the forces behind this movement have "the plan" of expanding this to universal access. I wouldn't expect a single piece of legislation to necessarily include the whole ten-year rollout of the program, but start with just one segment.

I guess we can hope. But if it isn't even mentioned as part of a long-term vision, how optimistic should we be?

About as optimistic that this part is not going to be cancelled halfway through or eventually rolled back ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
