Louisiana is one state where just about everything is free to the right people. They have a free college system and practically free hospital system. What they also have is a dwindling tax base due to those people who can escape to Texas or Florida. The joke is that Louisiana citizens can get healed and educated, and if they’re smart enough, they will get the h@ll out.
