“Funny, we never hear of MedicAID going broke...hmmmm.”

I always thought in order to get Medicaid that you had to forfeit any real property that you owned upon your death. But I never saw a sale of property from this type of action. In PA the state has regular auctions of confiscated property from crimes. I guess the states manage the Medicaid program so maybe I just missed any auctions/sales for Medicaid related forfeitures.

Anyhow I always thought Medicaid wasn’t only funded by the taxpayers.

And with restrictions on drugs given to combat COVID limiting therapeutics to “people of color” good luck getting treatment, even if you give all your money to these reprobates in Sacramento.

Socialism is a bitch. Expensive too! My tagline is still in effect.

Mass movement of illegals to California.

It's already happening the past couple of decades. So California will have a large immigrant (illegal and legal) population with an elite living in gated communities. I guess that's what the Democratic Party in California wanted. One party rule. No pesky middle class folks challenging their absolute reign of the state.

In the US as a whole roughly 53% of adults pay no federal income taxes.
Wonder what the CA figure is.

So the job creators and average working people will have an even bigger burden. And think of the magnet effect for the world’s would-be immigrants.

But....
Newsom would probably get more than the 67% victory vote against a recall or an opponent next time. They love those taxes./S

I can see a mass exodus from CA.

Any time California officials put a price tag on what a proposal will cost, you can bet it will actually be ten times higher and more. That average $12,000 per household tax will actually be an average $100,000 per household. Only the homeless will remain in California.

Now I’m really, really wondering if Prince Harry is here on a type of visa that allows the Harkles to avoid paying US income taxes...

Once the State is the Payer, they will have a say in what healthcare is available to everyone in the system. Basically, they will become a "death panel", much like Obama envisioned. “Maybe you’re better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller”. I have zero doubt that CA will prioritize treatment based on race, sex, "social factors", and age. As the "single payer", I expect they will try to gain control of retired Californian's Medicare benefits.

And Newsom wants to be president. Lots of people on the left want him as potus, so he can push this on the entire country. Single payer will be his top issue, claiming he "successfully covered every man, woman and child in the largest state in the nation".

England has done this for decades, and my grandfather was denied cancer treatment and given painkillers because he was 80, and they wouldn't waste treatment on someone who had outlived their usefulness.

“Outlived their usefulness…” the ultimate “social credit” solution.
