What do you mean no heath care? The province can continue to deliver health care as it always does. The only question on services is is the net amount that Alberta sends to Ottawa after transfers more or less than what it would send to Washington. Heath Care is a choice, the question is would the state of Alberta preserve it or not.
Also at the state level infringing on the second amendment happens consistently and is upheld. Agree with you on the terrible federal political system but if you wanted independence states have much more power than provinces do so maintaining Alberta as Alberta would be possible.
I wouldn’t want to join the states though, I’d be interested in Cascadia as once we were joined with California our dirty oil would be just as protected as theirs.
