When they talk about Texas seceding, I always ask “are you gonna deport your 3.2 million Medicare recipients back to the USA?”

Texas, California and New England could be stand alone countries easily. The smaller states could too. Look at Israel 8 million people and they have a pretty good thing going on.

I am sure the sovereign nation of Texas can come up with a way of taking care of the health needs of 3.2 million medicare recipients. It’s just an insurance program. The Texas equivalent will probably make more sense and actually work. A freed Texas would be able to actually make it work without the shackles of FedGov. Does that answer your question?
