So, he enabled legislation as mayor of SF to have universal health insurance there? Well, how is it working out? Are SF residents seeing better healthcare at lower prices? Cost overruns? Tax increases? Unpredicted numbers of illegal aliens soaking up benefits?
Let’s find out how their plan worked out before we say it should go statewide.
Free healthcare for everybody in the People’s Republic of California, because their current budget shortfalls are not large enough!
Such vast, social-engineering schemes can ultimately, only be paid with the ability to print one’s own fiat, unbacked currency and issue massive debt in that same currency. It is simply impossible for California to collect enough tax to make such a scheme work.
But, let California try. That’s how Federalism works.
But under no circumstances should the Federal Government pay even once cent to this scheme.
Let it come out of his pocket. Indigent and exceptional healthcare costs are already obliterating CA’s budget.
Hey Newsom, will this cover all the illegals coming into California and all the future ones?
25 millions, who will lose insurance should move to California.
It you have good coverage now you will lose it and stand in line with the illegal aliens for an appointment with the overscheduled doctor.
Get out the popcorn. We need to take bets on which program will doom Mexi-liba-fornia...health care, Calexit, the big one, Mexican Revolution II, or a combination of the above
We’d better have contract extensions on that border fence. We’ll need it.
Oh, special restrictions on ANY actors trying to enter our country following the sure to come disaster.
Keep it up and no one will have any health care at all.
Moar freeeeee sssssstufffff!
Wasn’t he once married to that Guillfoile info babe on Fox?
Gavin will make Moonbeam look like a conservative with his give aways to those on welfare and will vote for him.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From related threads …
Once unconstitutional taxes are stopped then the states will probably find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with. Each state can establish its own healthcare program, improve public schools, police and firefighting services for starters.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Fiscal crisis coming like an aircraft carrier bearing down on a rowboat.
They seem to imagine the Feds will be like parents to their rescue when it hits.
It’s not quite a universal health care program, just a global health care program. Any sick parasite in any country in the world who can sneak into California will get “free” medical care - paid for by any productive Americans stupid enough to stay in the People’s Republic of California. Somehow, I suspect the few remaining working Californians will look at that deal and leave before too long.
This guy is one of the earliest tools to legalize gay marriage in this state. His opponent will be Antonio Villaraigosa, former Mayor of Los Angeles. Don’t know who will be worse.
We will forever have an example of how well it works or doesn't work...
How can it fail ? LOL...
One of these days the California state union members are going to get a real rude awakening. It’s going to be very ugly.
When they do, they will be able to think back on all the big pie in the sky projects that contributed to bankrupting the state.
They can feel good about themselves, as they go hungry.
There isn’t a way this state can pay for all it’s obligations going forward. At some point a day of reckoning will come.
I had a conversation with a person who was as upset about state conditions as I was. I reminded them that the Democrats have had control of California’s Legislature for the last 60 years. (all but a one year long stint)
I asked, so which party do you think is responsible for screwing up the state.
Answer: the Republicans
Seriously. This was not an uneducated person either.
