    You skipped a couple of steps between “US easily can give each individual a million dollar.” and “So we can be certain that the locals will say yes if there is a vote.” Like Trump planning to do that and it being implemented.

    Also, a million dollars, let alone “far less” than a million dollars, would not be enough for me to be willing to give up socialized medicine for the rest of my life and the life of my kids, grandkids, etc. Not everyone is as motivated by money as you seem to think.

      Let’s hope you’re right. My point was basically that the US has many tools at their disposal. Especially when rules of yesterday don’t apply.

        Oh I don’t disagree that Trump and Republicans couldn’t give less of a shit about the law. I’m just saying we shouldn’t assume this is going to go their way this early in the game because they also fuck up constantly.
