California single-payer healthcare bill passes first committee test

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

If this actually ends up passing just sit back and enjoy the chaos.

A sweeping measure that would establish government-run universal healthcare in California cleared its first legislative hurdle Wednesday as scores of supporters crammed into the Capitol to advocate for a single-payer system.

The Senate Health Committee approved the measure on a 5-2 vote after a nearly three-hour hearing, but Democrats and Republicans alike signaled unease with the major question still unanswered in the legislation: how the program would be paid for.

The bill, SB 562, would establish a publicly run healthcare plan that would cover everyone living in California, including those without legal immigration status. The proposal would drastically reduce the role of insurance companies: The state would pay for all medical expenses, including inpatient, outpatient, emergency services, dental, vision, mental health and nursing home care.

The measure says the program would be funded by "broad-based revenue," but does not specify where that money would come from.

It's going to be an unmitigated shit show. California already has an unsustainable long term debt obligation.

And when they finally go bankrupt they'll look to the rest of the country to bail them out. I say let them drown in their own debt and leave the rest of us out of it.

Yeah. Heard that for 20 years now .

If cali is paying $$ to subsidize a bunch of medical plans, why not cut out the middle man?

I don't think we will. How are you going to get the rest of Congress outside of California to go along with something like that?

Calif is already $2B in the hole, their credit rating is going to be F.

Last November Republicans learned they don't need Calif.

Crazy cali... lol

Tards like Timmy don't know the debt is there, he is incapable of thinking.

 

[william the wie]

I hope we don't waste such a great example of what not to do by bailing out Cali

We shouldn't help any entity or individual that fail due to their own decisions.

We here in CA are our own country so it's past time to leave red state Amuhreca behind to enjoy their 'health-care-by-emergency-room' boondoggle.

Single-payer will simplify the entire industry and normalize care and payment. And again for anyone that doesn't like California either leave or don't stop by. Freedom of choice is still in place, exercise it. Well, red staters rarely exercise but I digress.
