If anybody was curious, the states that already had this prior to 2020 are:

Maine, Vermont, and Florida

Since 2020: Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia now also qualify.

Montana is a bit of a surprise there... so is Oregon for me.

I'm from the west coast and oregon has always seemed to have large populations of retirees in the more rural areas. My grandparents considered moving there when I was young. Also seems that oregon has a large "self-selecting" population where folks move there from out-of-state

		Yeah, they keep stating how "% counties" also qualify but they're almost all rural sparsely populated counties. Must be a retiree thing or "I grew up here and not leaving" thing. Florida being on that list made so much sense lol.

This is exactly what I was wondering, thank you! They kept saying 11 states already have this, but I couldn't figure out which 11.
