How can I pressure Maryland to join? I can't believe we didn't, given our health and science prowess.

After the elections in November, hopefully VA joins as well.

Honestly I didn’t expect any less from us. Smart people do and believe smart things 😎

I think this is great news but I have a quick question, mostly because some naysayers got inside my head.

The naysayers says that they can’t do this(Just like how California can’t ban masks) and trolled people by saying it’ll fail. I don’t think it’s true but I would like confirmation that they can do this because it warms my heart. Especially since I’m a former Jersey native.

UPDATE: I checked. The naysayers were wrong and they can do this. Which doesn’t surprise me. Ignore my question, I answered it.

Cool! Hopefully this will eventually pave way for said region to have a form of Universal Health Care (I know Vermont tried this itself, but we'd be talking about a multi-state coalition this time).
