"Already, on Nov.15, he called for halving the state's estimated 6 million uninsured residents."...Would that be legal or illegal residents?
His plans "are still being formulated by a special team of advisers."...Translated: The Dim's are searching for the means of passing on the cost of this "plan" to middle-class Californians.
The six million figure includes both. About 1.5 are illegals, somewhere near another million are eligible for government programs, but haven't signed up, and there's a sizable group earning over 50k who don't choose to buy insurance. The actual number of legal California residents who do not have the wherewithal to purchase health insurance is slightly over a million....
The six million figure's all hype, as is the claim that medical bills cause half of all bankruptcies, the other mantra of the socialized medicine lobby.
