re: #34 reine.de.tout

Current state of the system first put in place in Louisiana in the mid- 1700’s to care for the poor and uninsured.

It ain’t perfect. But it’s in place and has been for a long time, and it provides actual clinic care, not just ER care for the poor and uninsured.

Not just Louisiana, either. Check out Hawaii:

Oh, and it is *cheaper* than care on the mainland. Fancy that…
