Full Title............................California Goes One Step Beyond ObamaCare, Proposes Single-Payer Healthcare System to Include Illegal Aliens..............................California Democrats made a surprise move late Friday to foil President Trump’s promise to repeal ObamaCare—by introducing a stand-alone, single-payer healthcare system in California.

The Mercury News reported that two California lawmakers Friday introduced legislation to replace private insurance with a government-run health care system covering all 38 million Californians—including its undocumented residents.

“We’ve reached this pivotal moment,” Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens), told the Mercury News in an interview Friday, “and I thought to myself: `Look, now more than ever is the time to talk about universal health care.’”

The article went on to report that the proposal dubbed the ‘Healthy California Act’, introduced by Lara and former Assembly Speaker, now State Senator Toni Atkins, (D-San Diego) — was submitted just before the deadline for new legislation—and for such a sweeping proposal, it remarkably short on specifics.

I think they may have to redirect funds they were going to use to repair the Oroville water control issue, along with other crumbling infrastructure, to fund the new healthcare system that no one else in the US was able to provide for their own residents, let alone all illegal aliens.

The Federal Government should pull all funds from California for Medicare if this happens. To hand out my tax contribution for freeloaders and illegals better not happen. This communists rotten State is beyond redemption as a State under the Constitution.

California loves to pass “in your face” bills that cost taxpayers billions. A few years back it was 3 billion dollars of taxpayer money for stem cell research, shortly after Bush wanted to ban human embryo stem cell research.

Are they going to cover every Mexico citizen who gets here? Honduras, Panama, Brazil, Morocco, Spain, where do they stop?

Will they cover them for emergencies? back surgeries? knee replacements, heart transplants? gender modification? boob jobs?

Like tuition, they will treat someone from Peru better than someone from Nevada. Does anyone in power in California have a brain?

Illegals do not qualify for their entire existence to be paid for by the US taxpayers.
If California is going to become another state of Mexico, then let them flounder and go down.
The Mexicans have received billions upon billions in aid from US taxpayers and it like throwing money down a toilet. It just ends up in the hands of rich Mexicans and drug cartels.
Cut them loose.
No more money for Mexico or it’s new state of California.

This is what happens when you let the communists, socialists, illegals, Islamists and other America Haters weasel their way into power.

They aren't interested in being proud Americans.

Their interest lies in extorting every red cent they can from taxpayers.

They expect taxpayers in other states to pick up the bill for their "free" handouts.

California State Senate Leader: ‘Half My Family’ Here Illegally

by Assemblyman Tim Donnelly - 5 Feb 2017

California State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De Léon (D-Los Angeles) said last Tuesday that “half his family” was in the country illegally, using false documents, and eligible for deportation under President Trump’s new executive order against “sanctuary” jurisdictions.

De Léon, who introduced the bill, made his remarks at a hearing in Sacramento on SB54, the bill to make California a “Sanctuary State.”

I am sure there is a way but what about military people and federal retirees both military and civilian that have their own federal health insurance. I don’t see how a state government can take those policies away.

Next thing you know, Pelosi will be popping up to say ‘pass it and then you can read it’.

But in seriousness, the fine print needs to be scoured. Some Affordable Care act people ended up being transferred to ‘medi-cal’ in a sneaky move - potentially giving California a ‘death lien’ on people’s estates.

I guess they want their state full of people from all over the world to get their free “healthcare”. When it fails shortly thereafter, all the freeloaders will go back where they came from.

They could double property taxes and add a special 5% medical VAT to everything and it might work. Time for rational people in Kalifornia to get out. PS...congratulations to Nestle.

Do the taxpayers of California know what a single-payer system is? Do the taxpayers realize that THEY are the "payer" in single-payer? And they're OK with this? Seriously?
