GOP health care bill would send California’s costs skyrocketing

And the problem is? California has been getting away with too much living on credit already. They want pie in the sky liberalism? They ought to have to pay for it.

When they discover it can't be done, perhaps they will grow up and become conservative. In the meantime, let all the Rich Hollywood and Silicon Valley liberals pay more of their money to underwrite their socialism.

Let Mexico pay the bills...they already control the State via floods of immigrants (some are legal btw).

Mexico wants California back anyway...kinda a case of sloppy seconds though...place was a lot better back when it was theirs.

There should be a sponsor an Illegal program.

For 100k a year, you can rescue an illegal. You’d be liable for any damages they cause also. Let the Left put their money where their mouth is.

Which means that the rest of us have been subsidizing California’s medical costs. . . .

50% over $5 million? That’s just crazy! No one needs more than $5 million a year. Tax it at 100%. Now THAT would be California fair...

“California wants to secede, ok.”

Where did you get that idea? There’s a Russian moron who’s got an initiative in the petitioning process and that’s all! You’ve been hitting your bong too hard pal!

Not seeing the problem. Why should the rest of the country through tax dollars pay for one state’s unwillingness to discourage illegal immigration?

The answer is we shouldn’t. I liked CA before it was over run. It was fun and laid back even if it was a bit more expensive. Now it’s not affordable at all, the population density is off the charts, farms and orchards around any city have been taken over by gated communities and tract homes, and the culture is far too diverse. I doubt the state will ever recover from this liberal experiment.

Nope. CA made this bed so now they have to lay in it and own it. If feel bad for my family, friends, and fellow Freepers who live there but it isn’t the other 49 state’s problem to fix.

A fair and accurate observation if by “They’ve “ you
are referring to the liberals who run and run roughshod
over everyone including us conservatives who provided
somewhere around 4 million votes for Trump. I would
just toss in the fact that they are also regulating us
into oblivion thus destroying the tax base.

But-but-but- I thought California was subsidizing the rest of the country! It says so right in the Calexit website!

In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values, and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children.

So why, then, are they complaining about repealing Obamacare, which they are paying for via the intermediate of the Federal government?

And whatever happened to the beautiful state I grew up in? It just keeps getting more insane.

“””...would shift billions of dollars in health care costs from the federal government to states, with California on the hook for $6 billion in 2020...”””

So the cost won’t rise - the state’s responsibility to pay becomes their own cost. I like it. I won’t have to pay for the lunatic liberals health care. What a lying sack the author is.

lol- similar happened to me- i was pretty drunk one 4’th of july- saw a fella shoving his girlfriend’s head into a brick wall, and i mean really slamming it- at a convenience store- I confronted him- he took a swing, clipped me- then charged me- knocked me to the ground- My friend said i did like a ninja move and hopped back to my feet from my back (I don’t even recall it lol)- the fella was stunned- I swung, missed- swung connected- he said ‘alright enough’— about 20 minutes later- he comes wheeling up in a convertible- starts mouthing off again- His girl was sitting in back seat- I took a swing at him again leaning into the car— sorta missed- and ended up hitting her in the eye-

That’ll teach me to try to be gallant again lol

I would take yup mma fighting, but only if i could lose my way to victory lol
