"The 'rush across the border' argument, within the states, or to Canada, etc., doesn't hold water..."

          Of course it does. In fact, it makes it even worse. They move into Oregon to establish residency, and place demands on the welfare and public assistance system to stay alive until they can get on the health care system. It's a double whammy.

          That's why it could work in a place like Hawaii and won't work in a state like Oregon.
