How does California draw up a state budget when Washington Republicans may yank away billions in revenue? Thats the biggest what-if question for Gov. Jerry Brown as he sketches an early season spending plan.
The pledge by Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers to repeal the 6-year-old Affordable Care Act puts California at the financial brink. No state has embraced the federal plan as avidly, with some $16 billion in federal money going to enroll nearly 4 million residents.

Wonder if they are going to go ahead with their plans to enroll illegal aliens?
WHO CARES!!!
16 billion?? IIRC, any monies were a one time thing....basically, start up costs.
Good question? Not only health insurance for illegals, but all the other goodies CA dishes out to illegals (e.g. college tuition).
Basically, when it comes to qualifying for benefits, CA treats illegals the same as residents.

That alone is reason to kill it.
Unexpected benefit.
Going broke?
Dam, I love getting good news about Californicators.
This doesn’t affect the choo choo to nowhere & transgender prison surgery, right? (snark)
But we were told that California pays more to the Federal Government than it takes out and that it is subsidizing all of those evil red states, so I don’t think this will be much of a problem for them. :)
Wait a minute. California has been boasting for years about being such a huge and prosperous economy. That it alone has an economy rivaling France and many other nations.
You mean the liberals lied??!? Say it isn’t so. /s
Not a HINT of irony that taxpayers of the Union be required to pay for an entitlement without their State; let alone one taxpayer is beholden to pay ANYTHING for another (as if we had Rights or something)
Maybe they can start issuing those IOUs they handed out a while ago when they had some cash crunch IIRC.
I think so too. And some of this may be Medicade "Start Up" funding which are unlikely to be touched (IMHO).
California,you must keep in mind Margaret Thatcher's famous words: "the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money".
It will be a major hit to any state that expanded their Medicaid coverage under Obamacare. Once that’s gone then so is the federal funding for the expansion.
not to worry, the Streep woman and that Striesand has been will chip in to make up the deficit
So California has a net profit from healthcare that it uses for other budget items? Whoda thunk it?
Note to Author: Redistribution of MY tax Dollars to a Commie State to hand out to Criminal Invading hoards in the form of free health Insurance is NOT Revenue. It’s Communism.
So you think you can survive on your Own? Ha wait until you loose all your Federal Funding for protecting the Criminal Invading Hoards from deportation. The Future is Looking bright! :)
After all,they *are* the ones constantly complaining that they don't pay enough in taxes.
BWAHAHAHA!
Awesome, I Love it!
HOO
