If a bullet proof dem super majority state like California wont do it, they sure as fuck wont do it on a national level

Kind of a chicken or the egg thing, state level reforms can only do so much

3 times universal healthcare has come up in the state legislature and their own party killed it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

That's typically the start of any big law change. It almost always come up a few times in various iterations before being decided.

And I'm sure it will give California some trouble if all neighbour states doesn't offer healthcare. So maybe it needs to come from the top?

I don't think California would be able to handle the influx of people moving to California if they do pass universal healthcare. As a State, they don't have as much funding as a Federal program would have.
