As part of a plan to cover 6.5 million uninsured residents, the Republican governor has proposed a 4 percent fee on employers with 10 or more workers who don't provide coverage to their employees, a 2 percent fee on doctors' gross revenues and a 4 percent fee on hospitals' revenues.All of which will ultimately be borne by consumers as the businesses, doctors and hospitals raise their prices to cover the "fees." It's nothing but income redistribution masquerading as universal health care.
A "fee" is a tax. When the Legislature's own counsel throws cold water on the plan, its dead. And the CAGOP owes Arnold The Red zip, zero, zilch and nada.
