Is Obamacare style healthcare coming to California?
Sacramento Democrats are doubling down on the deficit. In the face of a $20 billion deficit, Democrats are pushing to double the state budget through a single-payer (government takeover of the) healthcare system. They propose massive payroll tax increases to pay for their massive government bureaucracy.
Democrats promise that “government efficiencies” will hold down costs, even as the state this week issued more costly mandates on HMO’s that will translate into higher costs, less affordability, and more uninsured. Talk about “stuck on stupid”.
“government efficiencies”
That HAS to be the definition of an “oxymoron”:
A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a “deafening silence” or “army intelligence.”
Those dems crack me up!
I would have to see the details before I comment on the bill. All I see here is someone estimated cost, which really does not add up. How much would the premuim be for everyone to pay vs what they are paying now, for one thing? This is just an attack without any facts attached.
Only a madman would propose or support such a proposal when the state faces an intractable $20+ billion budget deficit (especially from the same madmen who helped create the deficit in the first place).
On second thought, I think every Democrat should put their insanity on record and vote for this debacle (might be useful evidence in mental incompetency hearings or elections) and send promptly send it to the governor for veto!
HOw much does California residents pay for insurance? That is the 1st question one should ask.
If it is more than 200 billion then the program would potentally save taxpayers money. What is the answer?
