OK....the flagship of Liberalism, California....has their collective neck on the chopping block again....and I'm hoping that no federal savior comes to their rescue.
As usual, for Liberals, feeling passes for knowing.....and that means if it sounds good, the heck with the costs!
And by 'costs,' I mean redistribution from earners to....well, authorized 'victims.'
1. "$400 billion price tag for California single-payer bill
By Associated Press | May 23, 2017
A California bill that would eliminate health insurance companies and provide government-funded health coverage for everyone in the state...." $400 billion price tag for California single-payer bill
2. By 'everyone,' that means millions of illegal aliens who don't work, and don't contribute to what the Liberal eggheads claim will be the workplace taxes that will offset the $400 billion.
3. "...total healthcare costs would increase by an estimated $50 billion to $100 billion a year."
BTW......California: $2,702.3 (in billions of debt)
Compare Debt By State for 2017 - Charts
Hightest debt total in the country.
Think they're gonna be looking for a bailout? You betcha'!!!!!
4. "The concept known as single-payer has energized liberals who are pushing Democratic lawmakers to approve the measure."
5. ".....Medicare, Medicaid, federal public health funds and "Obamacare" subsidies. That's enough to cover about half of the $400 billion cost, according to the legislative analysis.
The rest would come from higher taxes on businesses, residents or both. It would take a 15% payroll tax to raise enough money, the analysis said."
Isn't this the cornerstone of Liberalism: workers and employers pay an additional 15% tax so illegals can have insurance....and they don't pay any of that 15% 'cause they're not on the books.
But....heck, they do vote Democrat.
And...when was the last time some Leftist boondoggle came in even near budget?????
6. ".... it would need cooperation from President Donald Trump's administration to waive rules about federal Medicare and Medicaid dollars." $400 billion price tag for California single-payer bill
I almost wish Trump would give 'em the OK just so we could see Social Darwinism in action.
Question......must one start out stupid to be a Liberal....or do they do some sort of exorcism of common sense???
