How do you rehabilitate corrupt insurance brokers?
99.9% of people that work for these companies are just doing their job and not directing policy, you will have thousands of people losing their jobs.

And many doctors either cap them or won't take them at all, because reimbursement is so low

What are they going to do? Send in the Army?This won't become law in California. No way President Trump or his administartion will allow it.
Trump can't do shit.This won't become law in California. No way President Trump or his administartion will allow it.

so yeah.Even if it were to clear the Legislature and be signed by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, it would require cooperation from Trump's administration to waive rules about federal Medicare and Medicaid dollars.
I've said it before:
We tried several times to give these mouth breathing fuck heads universal health care and they responded by calling us liberal pussies.
So let's just have it for ourselves and they can live in their libertarian neo Christian dystopia that they crave so dearly.
Fuck them, we tried.
Trump controls half the funding.Trump can't do shit.
Is this the first sign of the USA headed towards a confederacy? I mean, this plus Trump's total abdication w.r.t. the Paris agreement and the consequent declaration of Paris support from numerous state governments. If states have this much agency to direct and determine the lives of their residents, what need do they have for the federal government beyond a military? May this be the future that republicans want?
Yeah...not feeling the 15% payroll tax increase.
It's possible we'll be living in a country where doctors don't make quite as much money as they do now. You know, like, most other countries. I swear, like 90% of the skepticism over healthcare in America is blind to how things work in the rest of the world.
How much do you think you will save on medical expenditures?
While true, most people just won't see it that way.
That's another thing California needs to fix. Tuition is supposed to be illegal in the state. Higher education is meant to be free for all residents. But schools and politicians found creative ways around that.You would have to fix the student loan problem. I have about 200k in student loans due to medical school and I am on the lower end of the spectrum. Docs in other countries don't have that issue. If oaybis significantly reduced without fixing that we will have an even greater shortage of doctors.

Yeah I pay 22% now. Pay for it with weed taxes I say.

I'll second this.Can we scrap the bullet train to pay for this?
The states have always had power to do their own things. This would still require the federal government to sign off on it anyway.
Yeah...not feeling the 15% payroll tax increase.
Universal healthcare is probably the most expensive service a government can provide aside from defense, so it's conceivable that CA could be fine as an independent nation-state. US states can already override the Feds vis-a-vis marijuana and ICE, so I don't see why states can't just ignore DC altogether unless POTUS deploys troops domestically.
Politicians need to do a better job of marketing.
The 15% payroll tax is likely much cheaper than whatever is being paid now.

They would need funding FROM the federal government. They're not going to become independent because troops would be deployed in that case. It's as silly as when Texas was claiming they can leave if they want. No they can't.
Single-Payer was on the ballot in Colorado last year but it failed.
Hopefully if this passes in California, and is a success, other states will quickly follow suit.
Has nothing to do with marketing. Coloradocare was pretty well marketed and thoroughly explained. People there just rejected it. The way they were gonna pay for single payer, and what was on the bill, was 10% income tax increase (3.33% from employee and 6.67% employer) and 10% increase on all other income (i.e. rental, dividends, et.al). Most people would still only see an increase of 3.33% and they only got 21% yes. That was in the 2016 ballot.
I live in California and Governor Brown has been on fire this term. Ready to ride this bull.
So basically it would be even MORE expensive for me to continue living here. Yea, I'm gonna have to pass on this.
Can someone explain to me how we can pay for that? More taxes? I wonder if my work going to increase my pay since they no longer have to contribute to my health plan.

What are you currently paying for healthcare?
