California driving the producers and employers out of their state again - the non-producers and the lazy will flock there though...
What next? You wreck your car in CA without insurance then then you drive up to the insurance company with the front end all smashed and the car still smoking and they have to insurer it and then pay for the damages after the fact? Nutz.
Is that like the requirement to have a driver's license? How many non-citizen "Californians" are driving at the moment without a license? Lots and lots.
Does he think the companies won't spread the higher costs onto the rest of us? Or perhaps companies will quit selling insurance in CA, like many did with flood insurance in FL.
Man, just get out of the way and let the free market work. Perhaps it's nature's way of thinning the herd.
I think this foreigner has Presidential aspirations. If he can pull this off with the help of the Ca legislature, then he will be propping himself up as a candidate...if anyone believes that we won't be instituting socialized medicine nationally in the next 5-10 years, they have their head in the sand. This puts Arnold at the forefront of what the country 'wants'. Then he only has to have the Constitutional ban on foreign borns changed (leave it to Teddy). Who even cares anymore about that?
No, he knows they will. It's part of your new "shared responsibility", didn't ya know?
He just solved Mexico's healthcare problem. From now on Mexican ER's will just instruct everyone to go over the border.
(The anabolic steroids must have finally hit his 'brain'. I'm pretty sure the only cure is a lobotomy)
One thing I did not see mentioned in the article was a statement last week from Arnie stating his desire to have this coverage extended to those members of society which are here under the radar... i.e.: illegals.
Arnold is the #1 Dream of the Liberal faction of the Free Republic. They think he is the man in the movies, like Rudy is the slayer of all terrorists.
It's there. About the 4th paragraph.
Here's a link to a more detailed discussion of the proposal
http://gov.ca.gov/pdf/press/Governors_HC_Proposal.pdf
All children, regardless of their immigration status, would be covered through an expansion of the state and federal Healthy Families program.
mmmmm you missed it, it is for the children!
We all knew he was a moderat / border line liberal.
That's just ridiculous! Like we can all afford to pay for all these illegals! There will be a BIG swarm to move to CA with all these sickies. Time to move outta here! Or vote him outta here! I think he's had too much morphine with that accident.
If I may expound, it's what The People (not the country) and associated travelers have decided is the next need. And the play book goes "to each according to need, from each acccording to ability". The vehicle will be children, broken homes, the old and the poor. So in the words of the great Steven Tyler, "Same old story, same old song and dance my friend!" The next entitlement the Democracy will vote itself. Until we change back to a Republic and let the States appoint their Federal Legislative checks this insanity will continue.
Sorry for the rant, I meant to just bump this thread to see what Arnold supporters turned up. There sure were alot of them jumping every thread about Arnold in the run-up to his annoiting. Any way have a nice night. And BTW I love the map on your home page, may I?
Businesses are required to provide workers compensation insurance for every employee. The cost of workers compensation can be as high as 40 percent of payroll. I'm not sure this 4% add on is an unreasonable requirement.
I truly am in favor of the requirement that insurers cannot deny coverage based on existing medical problems as often people get diagnosed with some illness and through no fault of their own they become uninsurable and then ultimately become a burden on the state anyway. At least with this proposal the burden is shared between businesses, individuals, government and insurance companies.
Although I am not particularly against this proposal, I have serious doubts as to whether it is workable. It sounds good on paper. But then the proof is in the pudding.
