Look, I'n not prepared to dictate protocals fr every situation that arises. Realistically, it should be a State issue, so communities should probably evaluate the situation on a case by case basis.


Places where the climate is warm year round, like California, often end illustrating why the Welfare System can't work.


There just aren't enough "taxpayers" to alleviate all of the suffering that exists.
But we can pay for a war in Iraq and for our space program and for this massive complex of law enforcement agents from the homeland security department to boarder patrols to policement and the war on pot smoking and for motorcycle cops to write expensive tickets that poor people cannot afford to pay? Gee. Perhaps we should import more workers to have more folks paying income taxes, open them boarders!

The plan is about everyone buying insurance to cover health care based on what they can afford which also reflects the status of the economy in which those people live. Not free pills for everyone just paid by taxes.

Now your state by state plan is not workable. It would work in California because we have lots of people and a above average economy, and a bunch of rich people. But some states the poor outnumber the middle class, other states where they mostly do farming you have a small population over all. Only a national plan can be user friendly to everyone in every state.
