IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative.

The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

I hope that means they'll set up a comprehensive regional health system with free coverage for all! If they teamed up with the West Coast Health Alliance, I suspect they'd have a large enough percentage of the population to make it work.

Edit: I looked it up. The combined population is 65,873,578, which is approximately 18.7% of the total US population of 342,034,432. That's far more than many nations with healthy national health services!
