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.
Are they closer to a public option than NY? NY really isn’t a public option.
No, it’s similar to NY. You have to be at a certain income level. Washington State is a rich state of billionaires and millionaires with Costco, Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, etc that have headquarters here or are a major presence, but they don’t pay their fair share of taxes. That’s one of the biggest problems.
