A national health policy nonprofit on Thursday announced it is making California the focal point of a long-term research project to examine whether the Affordable Care Act lives up to expectations for the uninsured.
The Kaiser Family Foundation released the initial results of interviews with 2,000 randomly selected Californians who had lacked health insurance for at least two months.
The study will follow the respondents for two years, as they examine their options under the federal health care law. The act reaches its most notable public milestone Tuesday when the exchanges that act as marketplaces for insurance shopping open for business.

It will go the way of Dr Frankenstein’s lab, methinks.
Ted Cruz video to forward:

Yup. Totally expected. Then the push for single payer starts.
I hope the Kaiser researchers speak Spanish.
The state flag should be changed from a bear to a petri dish.
PING !
Seems like kaiser is always in the thick of it.
Follow the money, Kali. is beyond repair. But Bambi will back door tens of millions of dollars to prop up the stinking carcass as a success story to the rest of the Nation.
Meth Lab for the USA is more like it.
Nice to know us California is a laboratory of Guinea Pigs.

Kaiser and all their lousy unionized employees suck....
yep they want to be the country’s healthcare co. period
If they truly wanted to do a test of the California ACA they would also follow what happens to 2000 people who already have insurance. This is sure a one sided study that won’t tell the true story.
Simply put, the states have never delegated to the federal government, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes. In other words, California, and the other states as well, uniquely have the constitutional authority, evidenced by the 10th Amendment (10A), to tax and spend for healthcare purposes. 10A-protected Massachusetts RomneyCare, for example, is constitutional while federal Obamacare is not constitutional.
In fact, Justice John Marshall had officially clarified that Congress cannot lay taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, healthcare not included in those powers.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. (emphases added)" --Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824."Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
What's going on is this. California's lawmakers evidently don't know the Constitution that they swear to protect and defend well enough be aware of the following. They don't understand that the Obamacare federal dollars that will be spent on California's illegal immigrants and citizens are arguably nothing more than state revenues which corrupt Congress stole from the state in the form of illegal federal taxes.
On the other hand, California's naive implementation of Obamacare can at least be thought of as a way for California to recover stolen state revenue for healthcare.
Most politicians today get elected to office because they promise to give away wealth from one person to another who is probably shiftless in more ways than one. A Constitution means nothing but a drag to the shiftless and the wealth distributing politicians and their enablers..
