Who saw this coming. That state doesn't pay for anything. The taxpayers do. Any tax put on doctors and medical providers will be passed on to the patients with private health care or pay cash. As per Newsom the illegals are protected.
Medi-CAL. I do believe the state tries to collect from your estate after you croak.
Former USA is GONE!
The Left is bit by bit making medical care more costly on their long road to a final demand that to “fix it” - a problem they helped cause - medical care MUST be “nationalized”. The medical profession, which continues to vote left of center, will finally reap what they’ve sown.
The taxpayers are leaving. They’re running away. They’re not staying to fix it. That’s sick. Soon the medical rules will need to change. The MDs won’t get paid. Hospitals won’t get paid. They won’t turn people away so they’ll get medical services
One in three is totally on govt pay
Low percentage of Medicaid recipients work.
The taxpayers are going to Texas. And not to improve it.
The Texans are paying for more highway structure. Massive.
Took me and my highway mates 5 hours to get 15 miles. The Texans can’t figure out how to properly close a road for construction. They made us sit in non moving traffic 5 hours and more no traffic cops no notification on their stupid nanny billboards no newsflash we can go to on our cell phones. Those disease in Austin will let this roll right over the Texans and turn this into a blue state that will fail
“With 1 out of 3 Californians on Medicaid, doctors push ballot measure to force state to pay more”
Let’s see, who will pay more ... the poor folks: no, they are the ones on Medicaid ... the rich folks: no, they will find some way to weasel out of it as they usually do ... the Middle class: of course because the government will make them pay for it as it is just part of their plans to destroy the Middle Class.
One of three on Medicaid

This is cleanly unsustainable.
I guess it started with Obamacare massive extension of Medicaid. Now even illegals are covered.
US is on trajectory of free medicine, when everywhere else they figured out it cannot be done.
Problem with free is that people will abuse it!
Even Communists figured it and in later years of communism, they started asking for some co-payments in their socialized medicine!
Medicare will break the USA, the same way entitlements broke the Weirmar Republic and allowed the Nazis come to power.
This is by Deep State design.
The solution is to drastically cut back those eligible for Medicare, starting with illegal aliens (only citizens get anything).
Newsom is just doing what Commiecrats do: tax & spend. He’s going to tax the worker bees to death at this rate.
bttt
Can anyone else think of an alternative solution to a tax increase that would help solve the problem?
Mewsom’s Californication is busted, broke and bankrupt
No question. The state rips off health providers paying them pennies on the dollar which is then passed on to private health insurance patients. So yeah, always so compassionate and generous with other people’s money.
But let’s talk about the California medical professions. You know, the ones who cast their lot with the vax Nazis. Did they support Newsom. Do they? Do they support Democrats? If so, they can kick rocks.
In addition to covering provider encounters, Medicaid pays for an ambulance no matter how minor the complaint, thereby clogging up your local ED. That has to add up.
One of three on Medicaid -— i think i see the problem...
The article seems to be lumping Medicare and Medicaid together.
Also,note. CaCaLand under Newsome (#47, mind you) has a $45B deficit. And, just recently 24B of that was found in an audit to be untraceable. No one in Newsome’s office knows where it went, who spent it, what it was spent on, etc.
Not allegations. Audit results.
Just imagine what he will do once in the WHouse. Ukraine will have no problems, they will get Trillions.
