I want to know why I’m wrong- because this question has been eating at me for years- and I secretly blame the Democrats for all of the health insurance problems.
Why can’t California and New York bind together in an interstate compact, and create medicare for all of their citizens?
California and New York have GDP’s above most other countries in the world. In general, democrats hold majorities. Tell me why I shouldn’t blame the democrats for:
-
Doing Obama care half assed, when something like 80% people wanted a public option.
-
Not just doing it themselves. For instance even NYC by itself has a GDP above Denmark, and NYC is filled to the brim with the super rich.
The conservatives justices (if you buy into the whole conservative/liberal justices thing) would 100% be eager to up hold a state healthcare law if it meant getting to strike down Wickard v. Filburn and allocating more power to the states.
But thanks for being at least one person in this thread who appreciates that Medicare and Medicaid are not synonyms.
