Socialized health care for Californians passes Assembly

Tom Brosz — 8/30/2006 7:27:17 PM (archived)

I'd bet not one Californian in ten knew this was going on.

Details here.

Private health insurance will be illegal. A "transition commission" will oversee the destruction of the private alternatives, and the looting of their foundation funds.

Illegals are fully covered.

A gigantic new bureaucracy will be created.

Advocates promise--really--no new spending on this, using money already being spent on health care.

If the governor signs this, the eventual fiscal and health care disaster will be visible from nearby star systems. But hey, what do I know.
