California assembly advances universal healthcare in bill that could double taxes
(The Center Square) – The California Assembly Health Committee voted to advance a bill that would establish a universal healthcare board that would ban most private healthcare and require shifting the entire $405 billion annually spent on healthcare in California onto the state budget. As the state faces a $73 billion budget deficit, it is unclear which taxes would have to be adopted to absorb hundreds of billions of dollars in new costs.
“With continued collaboration, California has the opportunity to be a model for the nation on what a progressive alternative to our fragmented, profit-driven status quo can be,” said Assemblymember Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, in a statement celebrating the AB 2200 advancing to the Appropriations Committee after a 9-4 vote.
The bill would enroll every state resident in CalCare, which would include gender-affirming care, home health care, assisted living facilities, dialysis, and acupuncture. While private insurance would be banned, limited private care would be available for care not covered under CalCare, but providers of non-covered services would have to negotiate prices with the government.

So it can be stolen.
Burn it all down, it will make a nice National park.

They should be loaded on buses just like illegals and shipped right back to the paradise they created and are now fleeing.
Fleeing Dems are nothing but locusts. I’d make it insanely difficult for Californians to flee to Texas or other southern states.

When can we expect a federal taxpayer buyout of California?

This will blow up so hard those fault lines will finally give way and like Jackie Gleason use to say And Away We Go as Cali collapses

This is what I’ve been warning all of you about for going on 4 years now. If the dems get control of DC, real control not uniparty bull crap, California goes national.

Sucks for folks who already have insurance in the private sector. Can't imagine this would attract successful folks to relocate to California

Good
ETA - I want to watch it burn.

Universal Healthcare and wide open borders. Sounds like a perfect combination for California taxpayers.

California is going to be third world state with nice weather and no money after the sane people finish moving out.

Great, more folks moving to St. Pete.

That would be unconstitutional and violate inherent liberty and property interests.
If I'm elected, there will not be a bailout of California when it goes bankrupt and completely implodes. Easily the dumbest and most self-destructive state in the nation, and it ought to be the shining star. The entire state is run by idiots.
I'd say that Trump should make a similar statement but he won't because Gavin was nice to him that one time.

Free Healthcare for all means crappy Healthcare for all.
