Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now.

If they are allowed.
How much is the state income tax in California?
California’s 9 state income tax rates range from 1% to 12.3%. The Golden State also assesses a 1% surcharge on taxable incomes of $1 million or more.
Our sales tax in many if not most metro counties/cities is about 10%.
One bedroom apartments in the SF Bay area are close to $2500 + per month with 2 months deposit and a minimum monthly salary of at least 3 times the monthly rent. In some areas, the minimum salary needs to be 4-5 times the monthly rent.
You would think after the coming pension disaster they would be more cautious ( California Pension disaster)
The Detroit, Puerto Rico and Dallas Police Dept bankruptcies are the first harbingers of the coming city and state bankruptcy Tsunamis. All have one thing in common they are run by Democrat politicians.
Already tried someplace - Vermont maybe? - lasted one year - being progressive means you never have to learn from experience......
And “gibmedat” cockroaches will rush in.
Software companies won’t have to pay the tax for programmers in India.
I think most hospitals would downsize and provide only minimal treatment procedures. If you want the ‘good’ stuff, you would have to leave the state. It’d take about three years for everyone to figure out that you can have practically free health-care, but it’ll be limited to mostly a dozen procedures.
How you’d fix things at that point....is a pure unknown.
Hey guys, off topic but do any of you have any idea how many votes Trump got in CA under the American Independent Ballot line?
CA Sec of State doesn’t seem to have his vote totals separated by ballot line.
Can’t seem to find any info. Strange, as it says some Alan Spears won the CA AIP Presidential primary (FR’s own Tom Hoefling placed last).
As long as there is no bailout when they declare bankruptcy, I don’t care what they do.
It's the dudes FLEEING that STARTED this mess long ago!
Now they are infesting COLO, AZ, NEV, Utah...
THIS is what governments EVERYWHERE do NOT want you to know.
You bought food at the store?
It costs you something for all the taxes that the store pays: it gets passed along as a cost of doing business. The truck that brought the food to the store? It's owner pays taxes; they are passed along.
The fuel for the truck? Gas taxes.
The driver for the fuel truck to the station? Income taxes.
the property the station sits on? Propertytaxes.
The electricity the stations uses to run the pumps? Yup; even MORE taxes and 'green' fees and snail darter protection and environmental inspections and on and on and on...
You want SINGLE payer?
Try ONE TAX, the same for EVERY ONE.
After the rebellion; you can then start all over again.
What large metro area are NOT run by Dems?
The key weaknesses of Romneycare, Obamacare, the failed Vermont experiment, and the failing California plan are three: First, they are trying to nationalize the insurance system rather than nationalizing the hospitals, labs, and their employees. Second, they are planning to "cover everything", including things that people can and should pay for themselves. Third, they have not provided a robust private option so "the rich" can legally create a sector which, if it's not legal, will bleed the best talent off to the Caymans or Costa Rica.
Single payer backbone health care can be done, and it can be done well, if it is designed to complement and to incentivize the private sector. It can also create Soviet-style conditions for 99% of the population while the five-county DC area luxuriates in private, special care for politicians.
It's up to you how single payer is done.
It is inevitable that it's coming.
Please dont count me as a Californian. I grew up as a military brat with no home state. Moved here for the work in the 80s, and still feel alien to the culture here,i want to escape the insanity not take it with me.
California wants single payer - as long as the payer is someone else.
You are absolved.
Go and sin no more.
