Just like a lot of ideas that seem like they’d be good for government only work until the Right Wing (whichever party they’re corrupting, over the decades and centuries) gets ahold of them. Remember the poll tests they used against Black people to prevent them from voting. And think about how they’d slash and burn the funding for a National Healthcare System in order to cut taxes further for the wealthy. You can’t base the system on a premise that the people running it will have the good of the country at heart, you have to design it to prevent evil abuse of its power.
Think of all the outrage it would cause people getting declared ‘unfit’. People would definitely think there is double play going on…

Precisely. But how to do that? I would think multiple layers of control, but that would get too complex I think.
