Hmmm. Part of the manic drive for simple, one-size-fits-all "solutions" (and don't bother us with the details, like it might sound reasonable in NYC and LA but is hopelessly out of touch in Wyoming).
Actually, it's worse than even that...for instance, if Socialized Medicine (aka single-payer) is such a stupendous idea, how come not one single state has instituted it?! If NooYawk is Socialist enuff to elect the HildaBeast as Senator, they're certainly Socialist enuff to implement Socialized Medicine on a State-wide basis. And since it is such a superior concept, I'm sure folks would be rushing to live in NooYawk instead of continue to move their Lib'ral politics increasingly into our southern states.
