Nearly 14 million Californians, one in three adults and half the states children, are covered by Medi-Cal, the states version of the federal Medicaid program. Four-million residents enrolled through the Affordable Care Act. Its unclear how the state would deal with the added costs under the bill whether through new taxes, cuts to other state services or by dropping coverage or enrollees in the program.
So who's fault is that? And who wants to bring illegal aliens into the system? You gave away the farm and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

They want to be independent so what’s the problem?
To: artichokegrower
No problem, CA will just launch their own single payer plan.

We’ll see how loyal to the cause whites, blacks and legal hispanics are once they get the new health bills.
It NEVER was a racial thing.
There’s thousands of illegal Irish in NY.
Not enough to affect healthcare but if there were millions, I’d say round em up and send em back.
I still say round up the illegals that are here, no matter where they’re from.
50k illegal Irish and 30k illegal Italians. That’s because you have to have family to vouch for you and most Irish and Italian are 2 or 3 or 4 generations removed.
The Irish more so.
So change the law a little if you want more Europeans, but in the meantime, the ones here illegally have to go.
I love my paesans but they’re breaking the law.

Good. Let it die.

Like originally planned.
I dont want some middle of the night bill filled with #### we hate getting passed for political purposes.

with California on the hook for $6 billion
What's the problem? They can just raise their state tax rate on the rich, right? california is all about progressive redistribution of wealth. Just take 50% of everything over $5m, problem solved.

Careful there, you’re sounding like a “purist”. ;)
The unpurists want to Fedzilla to keep their medical records and control of health care.

California is a fiscal/social/cultural time-bomb just waiting to blow. They’ve, almost seemingly on purpose, mismanaged everything. Tax everything, treat the rural areas like medieval peasants, cultivate all manner of social and sexual degeneracy, negotiate retirement for the public sector to break the bank ten times over, build crap no one needs, open the illegal floodgates, and promise everything to everyone... as long as you are not a straight conservative. That’s their formula.

California wants to secede, ok...but do those Libs realize then the Fed free sh*t stops coming to pay for all the Mexicans and illegals?
But the Calif Liberals are rich....let them pay for all that stuff.
