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

Look at the way residency requirements are written for instate colleges and universities and they can be used as a guide. Those have passed judicial and other tests and I am sure they can be modified for use at the state or local level.

I've been wondering about in-state tuition and how it's allowed (we haven't touched that yet in ConLaw). But it's clear that residency requirements for welfare benefits are unconstitutional.
Although, I can definitely see some exemption being allowed for the states' 'compelling interest' (or whatever) in providing free health care for those who have shown an intent to stay in the state. There must be some kind of exemption, as is evidenced by in-state tuition laws.
