The cost is too high for individual states, as a percentage of their current revenue. The increases needed would be, percentage-wise, astronomical.

But if the federal government is currently using money to pay for this, that money could easily be used at the state (or city/county) level.

Wait, the feds are currently providing universal health care? Or are you saying that if states wanted to pay for this the feds would lower taxes by the appropriate amount to make it a net wash?
