You're talking about people moving to a state en masse for the socialized healthcare and thus becoming a financial burden on the state?
Well, it wouldn’t really be moving. It would be an extremely temporary relocation for a procedure (which is increasingly common in the US as our costs get absurd. Except here it would be to CA for free care instead of Mexico or Thailand or Turkey for cheaper care). Under Saenz vs Roe, it would be quite difficult for a state to stop this.
Edit: though I suppose for something longer term, like cancer treatment, it could be properly characterized as moving.
they have no problem stopping it for college tuition. why can't they just do the same for healthcare?
I would think the ruling of Memorial hospital (and more recently Saenz) rather than Vlandis would apply to this sort of benefit. But it’s a good point that it could always be tested, and who knows how a court would rule (although memorial hospital and Saenz do seem very on point)
