> all Californians would be required to have insurance

Snort! Or what? What exactly will big brother do if you do not?

My solution is that everyone in California must have insurance. If you can’t afford it, the state will help you buy it, but you must be insured.

I guess Californians woke up in Russia this morning. No doubt we here in the People's Republic of New York will find ourselves waking up there soon ourselves.
