The American approach to some things is odd. Who would think that dumping patients in the next state is a good idea?!

The state that then doesn't have to take care of them, presumably.

not sure how that works
"recently discharged patients" so whose to stop them ?

"where would you like to go sir/madam ?"
<dribble..convulse>
"aah yes, we can get you a ticket to the next state, have a nice day"

What makes you think its a uniquely American approach? Back in the 90s a certain London Borough used to give dossers a train or bus ticket out of town. Loads ended up in Oxford, Reading and other dormitory towns.

It was a natural flow

And as such as horrifying as the women have.
