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.
Also, people who are just going, “eh, fuck the commerce clause, the states should just do their own thing!” totally forgetting the absolute shitshow this would unleash, both from private companies and conservative states.
Yeah but we’re clearly no longer using the Constitution
Yeah, look at any number of things (including Medicaid implementation) that have been left up to the states and what a complete dumpster fire they are.
