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
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
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
several states want to remove all restrictions on gun acquisition
