LOL! I don’t even know what you are talking about.

Then I really don't understand what you meant by your comment:

That just diverts existing funds from one thing to another.

Are you saying that this program will not actually increase the number of services provided and only move existing dollars around? If so, I disagree. When "someone else" pays for health care insurance, that person will be more likely to seek treatment thereby increasing the number of services--and the overall cost (IMO).

My original post was in reply to your post that the Feds are somehow going to also be on the hook for this boondoggle.

I was pointing out that although there are matching dollars from the Fed available, they are being sent to another health provider system, and changing the way in which a new system will allocate State money that you poor souls - and I mean that in a non sarcastic way - will have to pay for in increased taxes, will not increase the Fed monies in any way that is going to abate your forced “contributions.”

And as time goes on and the immigrants rush in to demand their newly entitled share, then the burden will also rise on the California taxpayer in a linear fashion.

And they will vote for ever more.

Former California businesses relocate here on a regular, almost daily, basis and they are part of our engine for growth. In this respect, I feel bad for you.
