Every California health plan would pay a flat tax under legislation introduced this week that, for the first time in bill form, responds to federal warnings that the state risks about $1 billion in federal matching money if it fails to expand a tax on managed-care organizations.

So by law they make get into a health plan and now they are going to tax that health plan. Somehow I think I will come out on the short end here.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah. You’re a U. S. Citizen so you can bank on that.

[Shady]

SMH. Where the heck are we, Sudan?

[JohnBrowdie]

californicate is a total joke. the other states should build a fence around it and make it the world’s biggest amusement park.

I say that as a guy that was born in los angeles.

[ChildOfThe60s]

As someone born in Oakland (long time ago), I think zoo might be more accurate.

[WENDLE]

Flee California with all your belongings as fast as possibly.

[Patriot Babe]

Same here, born in Oakland (long long time ago. Well they do have the Oakland Zoo, they just need to expand it much larger.

You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.

[goodnesswins]

So...the feds say CA has to tax something that the Feds mandated because CA borrowed money from the Feds...is that right?

Do you know how much the exit tax is? It's outrageous!

Shouldn't joke about that, I just gave them another idea for another tax.

I’m moving from LA to Texas on Monday. I love Southern California but moving is the right thing to do, especially financially.

[RginTN]

why don’t they do single payer. Its what the Dems want. They have the majority

[Secret Agent Man]

Everything can be fixed with more taxes. It’s the only play in the libtard playbook.

[Lazamataz]

Shouldn't they be looking at a Caucasian Tax?

Tax the White Privilege they claim we have. This health-care plan accidentally punishes blacks and latinos, and we can't have that.

[Pollster1]

That only makes sense in tiny little liberal minds: pay for medical insurance by taxing medical insurance.

[Artie]

Something else to consider is “who” will pay the tax for all the covered lives that are subsidized? It’s a double-header.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Well they do have the Oakland Zoo, they just need to expand it much larger.

In a way, they have, LOL. Many of the animals have only two legs.
