California Assembly leader shelves single-payer health plan (Commiecare dies again)
ABC News ^ | 6/23/17 | SOPHIA BOLLAG

The prospects of a government-run health care system in California dimmed Friday when the leader of the state Assembly announced he doesn't plan to take up the single-payer bill this year.

Speaker Anthony Rendon called the bill "woefully incomplete."

"Even senators who voted for SB 562 noted there are potentially fatal flaws in the bill," the Los Angeles-area Democrat said in a statement.

The bill, which has passed the Senate, lays out a plan for a government-run health system in California, but it doesn't include a way to pay for it. Rendon said the bill also doesn't adequately address delivery of care and cost.

"woefully incomplete"

i.e., they don't have the foggiest idea how to pay for it because it can't be paid for. At least they stopped now, unlike the Obamanation that gave us a failing "health care plan."

potentially fatal flaws in the bill...and that is there is not enough money in the world to provide “free” health care to everyone.

Why are they talking about paying for it? I thought government health care was free! < /s >

How to pay for it? What part of “free” did they not understand?

It would be easy to pay for—issue state bonds to pay for health care and order Calpers to buy all of them.

Call them Healthy California Bonds

This has the added bonus of high fees for all their Wall Street buddies.

Geez—these legislators are really lousy at scams! :-)

C’mon! This is Kalifornia! Home of the deep pocket taxpayer! Just double gasoline prices through taxes and tax the rich *anyone making more than $100,000 a year) at 90%!!!

Problem solved!

Even Kommiefornia shows that single payer is a disaster in waiting.

Won’t work there, won’t work anywhere

Wake up, Millennials. You’re being duped by the Obama Sanders hilLIAR Warren types.

I always get a kick out of the far left states like California and Vermont when they overreach on free pony legislation like “free” single payer healthcare. Once they determine there are not enough productive folks and rich folks to pay for it and their lefty supporters will have to pay for it, they let out a big collective never mind. If there is one thing lefties hate more than Trump, it is having feed their free pony from their own pocket.
