For any US State that is planning free healthcare : -

DON’T !!!!!!!

Our health system was designed in 1946 with the aim of looking after servicemen coming home from the War.
6 decades on and ‘healthcare’ can mean anything from a sex change operation to maternity or childcare for third World refugees who have never paid a penny torwards it. Meanwhile my 83 year old Aunt has to pay for all her medication and eye tests - because she owns her own home.
Britains annual healthcare bill is roughly £120 billion ($240 billion) and counting.
Don’t let America go down the same disastrous path.

Yes, but how much do those medications and tests cost? I'll wager that it would cost a lot more, especially for the medications, in the US.

The US spends 2 1/2 times as much per capita on health care as Britain, so you must be doing something right.
