Anecdotal of course, but I’d nullify and am from NY and most ppl I know would as well. This is one of those few things that surpasses political divides due to just how unhappy ppl are with our healthcare system.
I come from a family of doctors. My older bro surgeon was telling me how weird it was to see even doctors celebrating the murder of someone, when they routinely save the lives of scumbags. That’s how reviled health insurance companies are. Doctors would rather happily save the life of a shot gangbanger over a CEO who makes sport of trading lives for money. They attribute far more deaths to him and hold him accountable for lives lost that could have been saved.
The only industry where you do your job, save lives, and then have to beg to be paid regularly, often needing to argue on the phone on a patient by patient basis, wasting yet more time from doctors. Have to employ whole departments of people whose only job is to talk to insurance companies and get permission for everything ahead of time (prior authorizations) and then an entire other team who will still appeal the claims when they inevitably get denied (medical billers). And then they STILL need to talk to the doctor directly to argue in what’s call Peer to Peer, where the doctor now has to argue against another doctor employed by the insurance company. They have to argue with a doctor who represents the insurance company instead of human life. Mind boggling.
Nullifying it federally doesn’t matter if he gets life without parole in New York anyway.
No, but state nullification will still matter. And there are few New Yorkers who wouldn’t nullify in this case, I feel. Being in NY.

It’s a completely shit show.
