“I have a co-worker who thinks blue states finance benefits for red states, health care and otherwise.”
To a certain degree, that’s true. Because the economies of states like California and New York are so large, they produce tax revenues which are redistributed to smaller states, many of which vote Republican.
That true, but I think she was referring to people who don’t buy health insurance. She seems to think they are selfish that way. I should have explained better.
We’d rather not have your money. Keep it. Better yet just #CALEXIT your asses out of the union.
