I think that’s actually a pretty common view, just not often loudly professed by people with power or platforms.

Yeah, look at any number of things (including Medicaid implementation) that have been left up to the states and what a complete dumpster fire they are.

ITT: people who don’t understand that Medicaid is not Medicare, and that means-testing means a service isn’t “for all.”

Editing to add: Medicaid is funded mostly by the federal government, 69% vs 31% funding from the state. So even if it wasn’t means-tested (one has to have an income below a certain amount, or be disabled to a certain degree before qualifying) it would not meet OP’s definition, a single payer health insurance system funded by the state.

To answer OP’s question, a state funded single payer health insurance program would likely run afoul of the Commerce Clause of the constitution which states the federal government has jurisdiction over interstate commerce. UHC, Aetna, and other nation-wide insurance companies would absolutely sue over the state programs interfering with their right to conduct interstate commerce, and they would almost certainly win, even without a hard right SCOTUS like the current one.

Funny story, if it cuts off at a certain income level, it’s not for all.

I can’t imagine making a survivable go of it in New York for 28k/year.

It’s not really a matter of opinion at this point. What is available has little if any benefit to anyone who isn’t trying to justify rock bottom wages or sweeping layoffs. Most Americans, and most people on earth, stand to lose far more than they gain from LLMs.

Someone who is tired of your bullshit, that’s who.

“Cheap place to live” is just another way of saying “I figured out how to pass my costs on to others.”

I feel this so hard, and it extends to people who still support him (which is thankfully very few in my day to day life.)

Sounds like the beginning of the Cory Doctorow novella “Unauthorized Bread.” Cloud service goes down and the main character’s toaster won’t work without them.

It still surprises me someone with that complete of a lack of self awareness manages to get dressed without injuring themselves.

2, maybe 3. Never used a typewriter, never owned an encyclopedia, I can’t recall ever sending a postcard.

Morphine should be as far to the right as they are to the left. Not sure what the original creator of the chart was thinking.
