    If you honestly think that California could, singlehandedly introduce a fundamentally different healthcare system than the rest of the country… I mean, wow. That’s just… Not at all how things work.

    Politics is a lot easier to talk about when you aren’t constrained by reality although that talk doesn’t mean much.

      States already have their own regulatory frameworks for insurance and the provision of healthcare services, it’s very doable for states to implement healthcare legislation. It just happened in Ohio to some degree, and that was a ballot initiative.

        You understand that’s fundamentally different than transforming into universal healthcare, right? You might as well say that I am qualified to run google as I’ve used search AND have a gmail account.

        Are you actually comparing a right to abortion with implementing universal healthcare? Really?
