Calif. Gov. Newsom Proposes Doctors Prescribing Housing Like Other Medications to Combat Homelessness Problem
MRCTV ^ | February 20, 2020 | Nick Kangadis

We can really just chalk up this next story to California being California in the most California way.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom gave his State of the State address on Wednesday to a joint session of the California Legislature and told the predominantly controlled by Democrats body that of a new proposal that would allow doctors to write out prescriptions for housing as part of a five-point plan to combat California’s homelessness situation.

Most homeless do need a home. They used to have one. It is called a mental institution.

Seems like this is insulting to doctors, IMO. Newsom is suggesting that doctors should be “social workers”.

My doc is a sweetheart.

She will be happy to write a prescription giving me authorization to take over all of the houses of all of the Democratic members of Congress plus Bloomberg plus Gates plus Bozos.

Does this idiot think he can get federally (largely) funded Medicaid to pay for housing his homeless? And, yes, I know that California calls it Medi-cal.

Doctors won’t have much choice about this I’m thinking.

Doctors will receive an “offer” they can’t refuse.

All part of the long term effort to socialize health care.

“”Garbled syntax and mangled grammar. FAIL.””

Good grief. Greek to me and he probably should go back there if he can’t phrase a proper sentence in English! I don’t know why there are any unemployed today as it seems that anyone can get hired somewhere! Journalism is the best bet! Must not be strict in hiring!!

A prescription doesn't pay for the drugs. It allows you to buy ones which are otherwise prohibited by the government. Although I expect that is what the Kookifornia governor thinks - that housing should only be allowed by the government in a few cases.

Meanwhile, we have to talk about Bernie's overdose problem on prescription housing.

why, at the Medicaid Store, of course ... isn’t that the whole point?

OTOH, a much better prescription would be a prescription for a job after kicking drug addiction ...

I bet that is his play. Doc writes a prescription and MediCal pays for housing as a medical necessity.

My 99-year old mom, when she was dying had too big a Social Security check to qualify for MediCal. There was absolutely nothing the state could or would do to help her. The social workers were apologetic, but rules are rules. Illegals new to the state? Step right up! You get a free cell phone, high-speed internet, food stamps, housing assistance, free ambulance rides...the list goes on.

Need a scrip for Carmel Valley. Oh, and one for no taxes on it since that would make me anxious.
