I see a lot of the same stuff going on in CA that I do here in NYS.

And with the same result: a stampede of families and jobs leaving the state.

Note to the nation: Can't say you weren't warned...

“Well good luck with the Democrats. LOL”

Two sides of the same coin.

Between illegal aliens and malpractice lawsuits, the wonder is that any hospital in California is still in operation.

The California Left thinks there's a Goose laying Golden Eggs that will finance ALL of their foolish dreams.

When I explained to a highly intelligent, well educated Californian that California cannot provide welfare for Mexico and remain solvent, he was stunned.

It is always painful when reality shatters delusion, and the pain, the size and power of the delusional system, and the determination to resist reality are all directly proportional.

“You think the Democrats are building the new border fences????”

No. The difference is the Democrats simply won’t bother with the pretext of building a fence, whereas the GOP will do so over the space of, oh, maybe 30 years. By which time it’ll be irrelevant anyway.

Here is what I see as the “dirty little secret” in all this:

Liberals WANT hospitals to fail. They WANT the systems to get overloaded and be unable to provide care.

They want health care to fail badly enough to get the majority of voters to clamor for the government to ride in on a white horse and fix it.

What most of those people who WOULD clamor for it don’t realize is that they won’t be knights on white horses, they are going to be more like the guys on the black horses in the “Lord of The Rings” movies.

I’ve heard that saying before, but with reference to another part of the anatomy. I guess this is a family site...LOL

The California Left assumes that, even if they should destroy the California economy--something they consider hardly possible--their economy and programs would still be financed by the solvency of the rest of the nation.

This may be giving them too much credit. Most of them probably don't even think that far.

They're living in a dream world.

Twenty-first century California is disturbingly reminiscent of the Old South--dominated by delusionals who refuse to face reality and cannot imagine destruction. The Fall of California promises to be every bit as tragic as the Fall of Dixie and for very much the same reasons--hubris and denial.

I loved the title of that movie "To Live and Die in L.A."

I wonder how many California Leftists fail to grasp the irony.

Yes. Any hospital in America.

This racket has become legendary:

A Mexican woman in the advanced stages of labor crosses the US Border and presents herself to a hospital. The hospital by law must accept her and deliver her baby. She does not pay them--for her, it's free. The baby is an Anchor Baby, born in the US and a US citizen; so she signs up for welfare. Because she's had no prenatal care, hers is a high-risk delivery. She sues the doctors and the hospital for malpractice and collects.

Things are going right according to plan.

Soon when more hospitals close...EVERYONE will be demanding that FedGov take over healthcare.

I don’t who these “EVERYONE” are you are referring to but I don’t know ANYONE who wants Canadian style socialized medicine.

Not just CA's....There are plenty of my fellow NYSers who think the nation's taxpayers owe them a living.

If you are voting GOP or DNC this election...you are voting for illegal aliens...pretty much a vote for McCain is a wasted vote on America.

If you are not voting third-party or independent this election....you will definitely be voting for a liberal

I always for the most conservative in the primaries, then I always vote the least liberal in the general.....;)

My point is that the government is intentionally sabotaging healthcare with illegals, that things are going to get so bad, that essentially most will see a government “bailout” as the only way.
