A new report shows minimum wage increases have had little effect on the number of jobs in Maryland and nationwide. While the rhetoric around increasing the minimum wage often comes with the caution it will reduce low-wage employment, a new review of decades of research showed most studies found no job losses after the state or local minimum wage is raised.

Ok so why not just federalize health and bypass this me me meeeeee histrionic problem?

OH, OH!!! you could run for healthcare as a public service instead of a profit center 🤡
I don’t think you know what a hospital looks like when it is over capacity 🤡 but keep on talking like you know stuff.
If the hospitals in Washington are routinely over capacity, then thats a Washington problem. People have the freedom here to seek treatment wherever they would like to.
And everyone has to pay, inside or outside the state. Noone gets out of medical debt just by crossing state lines.
Yeah I make a point to avoid backwater 3rd world countries like the USA
