This bill, the Healthy California Act, would create the Healthy California program to provide comprehensive universal single-payer health care coverage and a health care cost control system for the benefit of all residents of the state. The bill, among other things, would provide that the program cover a wide range of medical benefits and other services and would incorporate the health care benefits and standards of other existing federal and state provisions, including, but not limited to, the state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Medi-Cal, ancillary health care or social services covered by regional centers for persons with developmental disabilities, Knox-Keene, and the federal Medicare program. The bill would require the board to seek all necessary waivers, approval, approvals, and agreements to allow various existing federal health care payments to be paid to the Healthy California program, which would then assume responsibility for all benefits and services previously paid for with those funds.
This bill would also provide for the participation of health care providers in the program, require care coordination for members, provide for payment for health care services and care coordination, and specify program standards. The bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would develop a revenue plan, taking into consideration anticipated federal revenue available for the Healthy California program. The bill would create the Healthy California Trust Fund in the State Treasury, as a continuously appropriated fund, consisting of any federal and state moneys received for the purposes of the act. Because the bill would create a continuously appropriated fund, it would make an appropriation.

Probably by demanding/begging for federal aid endlessly so that they can "prove that it works".

That would require a bureaucracy to administer, with all the associated additional costs, which will predictably expand until they consume any gains.

Liberal math. How many weeks have there even been ? There is no way it is billions. What's more those secret service agents are on salary and already hired. if YOU want to talk, talk about how much EXTRA these excursions cost. Are they hiring extra people ? If so, I have not heard about it.

If you want to bitch, bitch about something real. For example him wanting to stay in NYC or whatever, which I am not even sure he does. Even if he does, the secret service has planted themselves there and it is making the customers at the businesses that rent from him a bit nervous. Dd he order them to do that ?

And remember, nothing liberals can say will change most people's minds. They ran Hillary Clinton, remember. Many people who voted "for" Trump were actually voting against her. I will not change my mind unless he starts a war.

Two points. And first, I don't know how it's going to work either, and will be curious to see as well.

1) Yes, it needs administration, but it's replacing various previous agencies.
2) That it will "predictably expand" to "consume any gains" is an assumption, just speculation. (yes, I know that will invite snark from the usual suspects).

So you're upset about money being spent on healthcare, and yet I've seen nothing on here from you cons about frustrations regarding the billions of taxpayer money being wasted so Trump can go golfing every weekend halfway across the country. If you're equally upset at that, please say so and I'll shut the hell up. Otherwise the hypocrisy here is simply remarkable.
