Lucy Gearing up Legislation, the (p)PPARA

Lucy is working on a contingency plan so that Biden can advocate something 'innovative' in the next Democrat Debate.

It is the (pretense of) Patient Priority and Affordable Referral of Care Act (p)PPA(R)CA which would in the case of a Trump 2nd term be branded as the Making Referrals Great Again (MAGAa) act (the 'R' for referrals is 'silent' in the acronym). 

The basis of the legislation is to make referrals an entitlement funded publicly but administered privately by referral professionals certified by a new referral board.

Some critics might call it the Referral Full Enrichment Act but Lucy might counter with 'and what is wrong with that'.
