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.
They can. Cali at least has a partial plan.
Hell even a city could.
Hawaii already does.
I’m looking for a public-option health care in Hawaii. Haven’t found yet. Do you have a link? If I find I’ll post a link
https://medical.mybenefits.hawaii.gov/
Ok, I went to that page, and took the “are you eligible test” putting in a few different sets of numbers. This is definitely not a public option.
edit -> Thanks for the link!
It’s for low income. As I said in another comment in this thread, rich state but people don’t pay their fair share of taxes.
