Think about that GDP doe. Mmmmmmm
Enough Californias to fund welfare to so many red states!
And their governors will turn it away anyway.
I wonder if there would be a way to draw that up. A healthcare system paid for by the states that participate and distributed federally. Treatment only for those from states that participate. Thus still pitting the government against the pharmaceutical companies in terms of fair prices and pushes states to ideally make their own choices which would slowly move towards more and more states choosing to support their people. We would have to be dicks and deny medical attention to people coming from other states. I'm sure there are a million holes to work out, but no one should have any reason to argue with it outside "I don't want others to get help if I can't."
I would argue that we provide medical care for out of state people but all the facilities have posters providing the truth and sources of why it works well in this state. Maybe that way they'll look a little deeper into why they have to travel to another state to get help.
So fund a universal healthcare system for all of the people from just some of the states? It would encourage the states to never change. Now that would create a financial nightmare. It would turn voters against it and states would join opting out do to having to care for those who refuse.
