*America's disjointed health care system, including the Affordable Health Care Act, has been replaced by a Universal Medicare System which will make health care services available to every American; no American will ever be without medical coverage. This system has been patterned after those typically found in European and Scandinavian nations but is unique to the needs of the American people.

*America's War on Terror is over. The bombing of Iraq and Syria and the drone attacks on Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia were ended when the U.S. government finally came to the conclusion that this war has accomplished little to nothing to end terrorism and has, in fact, created thousands of new enemies including many here in America who have strong ties to those overseas countries which have, for some time, been under constant siege.

*After a new president, Bernie Sanders was elected in 2016 and after he made two new appointments to the Supreme Court, that newly reconfigured court heard a challenge to the Citizens United Case in which corporations were given free license to make unlimited campaign contributions; and then it decided to reverse its former ruling. As a result the Congress passed new legislation that completely banned all corporations from any involvement in the functions of this government and the country's election process. The process of ridding the Congress of its deeply embedded corruption has been very successful.

This may be just a vision of how America could become a truly exceptional nation, one that would return our country to its former greatness and standing in the world. But visions often have become reality by providing a path for making dramatic changes; in this case turning this country in a new, positive direction. We need to make this vision become that reality.
