@DrSammyD lemme know if you care to have any of this

Why can CA not pay for their own healthcare

Why is CA asking NY to pay

Because it would make the overall cost cheaper

If the fifth largest economy cannot afford it

For all parties involved

You still want to take the most economic route

If the overall cost is cheaper, why can't CA take the money they're spending now, universal healthcare, save money

Why do they want to ask NY to pay

@DrSammyD maybe it is suspicious; the ratios for whatever reason seem to converge a lot on certain times (the vertical blotches); though it might just be a dump where a lot of reportings happen to come in at the same time

Well in this scenario ny would also benefit if it’s federal

No no. CA earlier tried to independently go universal healthcare

They asked the fed to foot the bill

I will never ever forget the Starcraft Dominion Conspiracy though

It says here they would not be granted a federal waiver @Elzam

I need to see what this waver is about

Universal healthcare, or any significant social welfare, is unworkable with open borders. The US has so far open borders internally, and recently it has had pretty porous borders to the South.

Nah

The UKs NHS is suffering the same problem

Open boarders isn’t something we even have

we do have the same problem in the UK

which is one of the reasons why the NHS is garbage despite all the propaganda

I looked it up , if California were to implement single payer health care they wouldn’t be given additional money from the federal government they would need a waiver to pool already existing federal funds into a single central fund, so ny would not pay for anything @Elzam

then you'd be defunding all these other fed programmes, right?

No you are just pooling it into a central fund

No additional money taken from the federal government

so what is happening with all that money currently

It’s divided up to go to specific things

which specific things

It’s almost a states rights issue

these specific things would stop receiving these funds

No

so there is this massive amount of money that currently is being spent in "specific things" that wouldn't make any difference if the money were to be reallocated to something else

let CA go for it then, so long as that fed spending is not on fed-run stuff within the state

It’s money that needs to be released and moved around prob so they would have more control of federal funding, they would create a central trust fund

They are not allowed

you'd need to address what specific things are these and if CA should really be able to do away with them

that's a States rights issue

Let the states do as they please

I generally agree

Yet the federal government stops them
