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.
What do you consider Medi-Cal to be? 🤨
Medicaid, which services those with disabilities or who are below an income threshold. At least that’s what I get from the wikipedia page.
If there’s limited criteria for getting it, it’s not “medicare for all”, yeah?
If this thread has taught me anything it’s that reading comprehension and or critical thinking is at an all time low. It’s all contrarians posting how the op is wrong and that Medicare for all or a public option exists and then using examples of programs that are literally neither of those things. This is why these bills never go anywhere, people fundamentally don’t know what it is they want, what is proposed, and what they have and can’t even reason about it in a thread where the definitions are right in front of them.
I wonder how many make fun of those people who want to get rid of Obamacare because they have the ACA to take care of them.
