They are just telling states that they're not going to subsidize medical care anymore. It's part of the push to do the *reverse *of nationalized medical care. This will be followed by a "yuuuge" new plan to pump federal funding into medical insurance companies.
This is corporate oligarchy everyone. It means you're not a citizen worthy of living unless you're profitable
I hope that California decides to withhold taxes from the federal government, and institutes universal healthcare. Maybe the blue states can have a compact to form a universal healthcare medical network between them?
That would basically be secession. It doesn't sound like Newsom wants to secede, if anything he seems to want to "play ball" with the administration. Our states are still deeply tied to each other and the federal government, a lot of the talk that's been going around about what states can and cannot do is misinformation designed to make us think we're not actually a "united" states. It's more attempts to sow disconnection from community and to promote radical individualism. United fronts can do a LOT of harm to a government trying to get away with nefarious shit.
What will be more likely in the near-term future is states that have money and surplus will subsidize their own healthcare options. Which California already does to a large degree. But they may have to step it up as their citizens lose federally funded benefits.
