would pool their health care plans to get economy of scale, and as a state program thus be immune to whatever Trump does. Let’s say California, New York, and Pennsylvania formed a program called Calnypa or something. States that want to have health care could do it, and you would automatically leave out West Virginia, Mississippi, and other Deplorablestan states with bad habits that would drive costs up.

I wonder if it could be made to work?
