Poll: Colorado's Amendment 69, which establishes universal health care, shows wide support for it's passing (Mexican, lawyer)

Colorado needs to make sure the health coverage only applies to long term Colorado residents. It should not cover people who suddenly move to Colorado when they get sick. I could see Washington State doing something similar and I wouldn't want newcomers receiving health coverage until they were residents for a good ten years. Health coverage should not be extended to red state refugees.

Wasn't Obamacare supposed to address all of this? Suckers.

You mean Republicans. Who refused to support a public option.

Too bad voting isn't done like that like it use to be, or this bill would not even be on the table.

Not sure what you mean. There is no reason why Colorado residents should provide medical coverage to some Texan that moves to Colorado when he/she gets sick. Texas is a red state that doesn't want health coverage? Fine. But there is no reason why Colorado should be their back up plan. And that's the way I would want it in Washington State too. These red state refugees should be discouraged by making sure they cannot get such benefits until they have been residents for a good decade or more. They should be forced to live the results of their politics.

But that aside, I just want to make sure blue states that enact state based health coverage make sure red state refugees do not benefit.

MA is doing just great. The people in MA love their healthcare.

Think of going to the motor vehicle office for your healthcare, that is what government run healthcare would be like.

I dunno. Medicare works great.
