Unicorn Payment System - no problem.
So how are they going to pay for it?
We need to cut them off from federal funds of all kinds and let them pay for their own lunacy.
If they decide they want to be part of the USA again, they’ll have to fully cooperate with immigration enforcement.
“voted to pass a $400 billion plan to create a government-run health care system without a way to pay for it.”
Wow, that’s insane.
Crap. Now even more California refugees will be pouring into Texas.
When I lived in California, the state was buckling under the weight of a $100 billion annual budget.
Eventually, the voters who put these people in office may figure out that "single-payer" really means "n-payer," where n is the number of taxpayers who haven't fled the state yet.
The Assemble will need to pass a 220% tax rate to fully pay for it. I heard that the existing gross spending is now 180 billion, and it will cost 400 billion on top of that.
So the plan will cost twice as much as California’s entire budget, but they pass it anyway.
Complete stupidity.
Simple. Pay for it by taxing the profits from the sales of Jerry Brown’s/Swarzeneger’s carbon credits.
Good for them. This is how it’s supposed to work - every state does it their own way - the way they decide to do it.
All other States will benefit by watching how it works ... or doesn’t. The success or failure will inform decisions to be made by every other State’s elected representatives.
My guess is that it will cost ten times what they predict AND they’ll ask for other States to help them pay.
If this doesn’t chase the last remaining productive people out of that socialist paradise, I don’t know what will.
Global Warming won’t put California underwater.... BUT... Crap like this will ...
A Senate committee analysis released last week, however, estimated that the state would have to raise $200 billion in revenue each year, which it said could be done through a 15 percent payroll tax.
That's a very optimistic view, in all likelihood, impossible. However, businesses in California would support the measure so that they can get out of the health care for employees business.
They’ve just gone full Venezuela. Never go full Venezuela.
GOV. JERRY BROWN is heading to CHINA. Is he going to sell the state to them?
“whether the federal government would permit California to use existing Medicare funding”
so part of the payment plan is to rob Medicare from retirees who worked all their lives and give it to million of foreign invaders.
Mickey Mouse will need a second job to pay his taxes.
The Total California budget for this year is a little over 100 billion with about a 2 billion dollar deficit.
Now, they’re adding a 400 billion dollar single payer plan.
How in Hades will they pay for this???
Easy...paying for something isn’t an issue for Democrats.
Let it be funded by donations. Surely, those wealthy CA citizens will be glad to contribute. And the middle and lower classes can donate too if they desire.
Only reasonable way this plan will work.With no medical bills or monthly premiums, every citizen could donate something, small or large.
Raising taxes will only drive people away. Let them donate. Bill Gates and others will surely give, won’t they? They can cover this.
