So why couldn’t Vermont ( population 626,563 ), after having approved single payer in 2011, after 4 years, not make it work ?
The governor determined it would bankrupt the state.
The state budget is 4.9 billion a year.
Single payer was estimated to cost 4.3 billion in the first year.
Yet, California (population 38.8 million) will make it work ?

I’m sure they will try.
There are a LOT of clueless moonbats in The People’s Republic of California.
Single-payer only works if you agree on day one...that no one exceeds a three-star program. You assign maximum costs to procedures and the hospitals have to figure out a way to offer that service, or not cover the service.
At some point, you wake up and realize that of the 500 procedures done at your local hospital...at least 200 of them are no longer possible, and you need to go an hour down the road to major hospital where those will be offered.
Certain doctors won’t operate within the public sector at this point...going into private health care, and you need to pay them in cash.
We can all afford single-payer....it’s just the question...do you want less for less? That’s the only way (logical way) to make it work.
