Lara said Thursday that a single-payer health care system would enable the state to extend coverage to undocumented adults.


No money for crumbling dams but California can be the medical clinic for Mexico and Central America

I was really hoping Vermont would do this.

When it crashed and burned it would serve as a lesson to everyone to NEVER EVER try this again.

In a state of 600,000 people we could have absorbed it.

When California fails it’s taking us all down the drain.

Nevermind fixing the dams, they need a moat along the AZ, OR, and NV border and then succeed. Oy-Vey...

Yup. And no $$ for state pensions. All the bureaucrats who helped engineer this disaster will eventually get the kick-in-the-a$$ they so richly deserve.

And hopefully, down the line, Silicon Valley companies like Google and Facebook will be seized by CA to help pay the bills.

Vermont passed single payer in 2011.
By 2014, it was dead in the water.
Reason ? It would bankrupt the state.
Vermont’s budget is 4.9 billion a year.
Single payer was estimated to cost 4.3 billion in it’s first year for cover 626,000 people.

So, with 38.8 million people, let California do it

Fools and idiots populate Sacramento.

If you liked the Oroville Dam maintenance program, you will love BrownCare.

No. They will invite anyone in the world to partake. Why would
Any medical professional want to work in this state? You can’t be dumber than CA leaders. It’s not possible.

Can’t wait.

I was living in CA the last time they tried this and the estimated premiums for the “rich” was 25K. So in reality it would have been 35K. Most of the so called rich liberals didn’t think they could afford it.

Lara envisions a system that would “cut out insurance company waste and duplication that currently exists.”

“There’s no more out-of-control co-pays and high deductibles,” he said.

I don't know about you, but I am confident in the ability of California to achieve these goals.

I am all for SP in Cali so long as we can get rid of government interference in the medical market in the rest of the country. The comparison a couple of years down the road, maybe only one year, would be instructive and California has to fall to the bottom of the Communist pit so far is possible while still being part of the Union before there can be any turnaround.

This will not save California any money because the state will have to administer the program — using high-cost, low-efficiency, affirmative action employees, while tax paying health providers go out of business. The illegals will flood the program, making it even more expensive.

Money will be flowing out of California’s budget like water over the Oroville dam spillway.
