Read this bill and find out who is going to be exempt (it’s almost entirely arbitrary – union shops, state employees of all stripes as well as the entire legislative branch, and anyone with a contract, such as CEO’s and directors of private companies). Otherwise, your employer will dump health care benefits the next day and let the government take it over as a means of cost savings. Doctors, because there is no tort control and because fees are set by the government, will flee California en masse. So, doctors will not see a dime’s savings in their $500,000 yearly mal-practice insurance payments. Californians will move to the border regions in order to see doctors, clinics, and hopitals along the Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona borders, where there will be freedom to practice as you wish.

Back around 1974, the Democrat-controlled US House and Senate passed the HMO bill. Now, fast-forward to what we currently have thanks to government intervention. These people think they so much smarter than you or me and that we are too stupid to know what is good for us. Reagan was right – government isn’t the answer; it’s the problem.

Another issue is the rationing. Health care is in limited supply. Huge numbers of baby-boomer doctors are on the verge of retirement. If health care is declared to be “free” then people will start making massive numbers of appointments to see the dwindling supply of doctors. A rationing system will have to be imposed. There will be waiting times, perhaps many months. Think about what would happen if gasoline was made “free”. Anyone could drive up to a gas station and fill up without paying. Every station would be drained of gas in a few hours. They wouldn’t get a refill until a week later. I’m describing a Soviet style existence. That’s what single-payer would do to us. But the Left doesn’t care. They don’t care what they do to us. They just know the single-payer is “good”.

And here are some FACTS for you about our current system, you birdbrain.

The U.S. ranks 37th in health of its people according to the World Health Organization.

According to the Institutes of Medicine 18,000 people die a year for lack of health insurance in the U.S.

44 million people in America are without any insurance—most working full time—and including many children.

The cost of insurance precludes many from affording the premiums.

Many of those with insurance are hit with co-payments, deductibles and restrictions that keep them from getting the care they thought they would get or need.

California is different. We have a very large number of immigrants.
Most of the immigrants work “under the table” for cash only. They are
not part of the income tax system. They don’t pay. The only tax they
pay is sales tax and gasoline tax.
In France you don’t have this problem, or not as much. Here, it’s
a very big problem.

In France,there is a national health care system, finaned by companies
and employees contributionand also by a tax on all revenues.
You can choose your practicer,and we do not experience any significant
emigration of our best doctors ro surgeons.
Why the californians could not take benefit of a sort or US RED CROSS ?
It’s a good idea to implement such a system to secure people , excluding
all the cost of comfort as TV set in your room at hospital.
Thsi will be a good exemple of american solidarity .

43% of school age children in the U.S. are from the third world.

If the U.S. has a “third world” infant mortality rate, it’s because
increasingly, the U.S. _is_ a third world country. Most critics
of the U.S. fail to address this crucial point.

B.) I’m also shocked nobody has brought up illegal aliens, who are single-handedly responsible for closing at least a half-dozen hospital emergency rooms in southern Cali alone.

C.) Any nutjob that actually thinks this is a good idea is invited to ask the families of those who have died in Canada (a “first world” country by all accounts) waiting several months for a simple CAT scan that can be arranged in a few days here in the US.

The end result of all this, of course, is that Cali will have a doctor crisis, and sooner rather than later. All the good doctors will flee, to the point where the state medical board will have to start certifying straight-C-student MDs, or recognizing Nicaraguan licenses, or both. The system will rapidly eclipse every other item on the budget, and when the government is threatening to collapse under the burden, one of two things will happen. If Democrats control the federal government, Cali’s legislature will ask for (and get) a bail-out, which will keep the system shamling forward just long enough for the asshats responsible for it to retire. If Republicans control the federal government, the legislature will scrap the system and figure out a way to blame its failure on Arnie, even if he’s been out of office for several years.

You heard it here first, folks!

Now if I lived in California, I could feel terror at someone else’s novel pain.
