There are very clear medical exemptions in Prop 54. Opponents ignore this. You see, my own two cents here is that they are ignoring the exemptions and but only to continue hammering for "universal" health care

I think you hit the proverbial nail right on its head, so to speak. One of the Democrats on a particular forum is a woman who claims that she works for an epilepsy organization. The first thing she said was that RPI would prohibit her organization from compiling statistics to help "segments of the population." When I referred her to the RPI link and the clause exempting medical treatment, she claimed that the clause doesn't exempt her from collecting statistics to find out which "segments of the population" are "under-served". I suppose that means her organization receives funding according to the skincolor and facial features of its patients. What a hustle! (I could understand if epilepsy afflicted people with a particular ethnic/racial ancestry more than another, but even she says that it doesn't). I'm guessing that money is behind their opposition to it, too.

Whoa! Epilepsy? If she's getting grants and funds from the Fed Gov -- nothing changes. Prop 54 will stop the CA government from misuing these race boxes. Most these programs are not necessarily being used to help the "deserving", IME, but to keep middle men, corporate giants, and academics in state funds and grants. You might not be so surprised to learn how many "human" grants get money under "race" boxing. Did the woman say she was in CA? I wonder if "boxed" people know the ways in which they are being treated as lab rabs for testing and researching..

But when opponents continued to go over the top on the "medical exemptions" clause -- that clued me in fully. That they were attempting to set the stage for Hillary Care/Universal healthcare. They weren't worried about the medical exemption clause -- they refuse to in real time discuss it - Their fears, their worries. They are lobbying for a political agenda at the national level -- seemingly not very worried about scaring to death a gadzillion minorities in CA through their false claims -- INSPITE OF THE FACTUAL, WRITTEN WORD - the exemption clauses within Prop 54.
