Default Re: Public Health Care - Why not at state level first?

So big government zealots- where am I wrong? Why is a state-by-state basis for this a poor idea?

State by state is fine. I support socializing health care at either the federal or state level, just so long as it gets done.

Do you agree that the state by state method is easier? Although it may never get implemented in a place like Montana where very few people would want it. I look at it two ways:

1) National first- slower to get support, but gets everyone under the program
2) State first- faster at first, and means many people will never get on board.

Doesn't having a decentralized system make more sense? If someone screws up, it won't take down the whole thing (just the one state that theres a problem). It allows more choices for people (although they do have to move, but its easier to move states than countries).

Where am I wrong in thinking this is the better way to do things.
