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.
I’m very interested in reading about this. But not much comes up when I search. What did California find out?
It has been years since I have read about it. I can’t find it now either. However, my search did mention that having single payer healthcare will cost California $500 billion annually, double the state’s entire annual budget as of 2024. https://www.wordandbrown.com/NewsPost/Single-Payer-2024
For now, California has been subsidising healthcare costs through existing programmes.
