"90% pay less than $100 a month for insurance. You have to be just above poverty or worse to get that. Means 90% of California is at the poverty line these days. Good luck telling them no more free stuff."

Was that a Proposition Initiate on the CA ballot? I always look who is sponsoring such initiatives and sometimes don't read further. This year I was really immersed with the Trump/Clinton thing, so I may have missed that one.

That said, yes CA is a social mess. It will continue to be so unless Trump shows how to increase jobs and convince people that illegal aliens are NOT the answer.

The proponents always bring up the agricultural areas of Cali and how no citizens will pick crops. That has long been a liberal fallacy. Most of illegals work in the cities, very very few pick crops. I know from owning/operating a business in Pico Rivera close to East LA and dealing with illegals on a daily basis. Crop pickers are probably 2% of all illegals in Cali, if not less.

Under covered California, they had a representative boasting 90% of Californians pay less than $100 for their silver plan. (I pay nearly $500 for what would be a bronze plan).

So I looked up what the financial status would be for someone who would pay $100 or less for a silver plan. Answer was someone around the poverty line or lower.

So based on what Covered California representatives said, 90% of Californians are at the poverty line or worse.
