The major difference between the federal government and state governments is the fact that the federal government is the source of all money. They can spend it into existence. California cannot.
None of the things that would improve the quality of peoples lives better would cost the state a dime. Requiring businesses to pay a livable wage will increase state revenues and a stronger economy. Requiring universal healthcare would increase productivity and provide preventative care which lowers costs to the state, employers, and employees.
It seemed that your original comment boiled down to, if a state can't do something, how can the federal government possibly do it, and I gave a major reason why. Also, healthcare isn't free unfortunately, and since it cannot be tied to employment, it would have to come from the government.
The government can regulate coverage and medicine. The core infrastructure is already in place through Medicare and Medicaid in every state.
Yes, the money for those programs come from the government. Thank you for agreeing with me.
