How about every citizen gets single payer funded health care like all of the other civilized countries. You can think of the children and the adults all at once. Radical thought
I generally agree with your comment, except for this part. When federal law conflicts with state law, federal law typically takes precedence and preempts the state law, thanks to the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This federal preemption also applies to intrastate laws. The key nuance is determining whether a federal law and a state law are actually in conflict for preemption to apply.
It also takes the feds having a desire to enforce. See all the new legal marijauana states. Like in Oregon dispensaries are all cash because the feds could seize bank accounts
totally explains why i cant smoke a joint. "states rights" my asshole..
it wouldnt take all the states cooperation to enact a federal single payer system, it would just take congress to actually care about human beings more than the stock market.
health insurance profits only exist at the expense of human suffering.
I mean, I can literally walk two minutes down the street and buy a pre-rolled joint to smoke in front of the NYPD if I wanted to, so this isn't the strongest argument.
Try that in Texas.
TIL Germany is not a civilized country, by virtue of having a multi-payer system.
Well if they're paying out of pocket for healtchare instead of with taxes, they aren't civilized.
Multi-payer systems are also found in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, and Austria, by the way. Notorious hellscapes, the lot of them.
