Would think this would be a hot topic for the gimmie crowd but apparently they have bigger fish to fry.

California Democratic Speaker killed his own partys plan for single-payer healthcare
 
Source: Raw Story

Hopes of single payer supporters across the country were dashed Friday night when the Democratic Speaker of the California legislature killed a single payer health insurance reform bill by written by California Democrats.

California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon announced Friday afternoon that he was “hold” on the bill to bring universal, single-payer health care to the most populous state, effectively killing the bill for at least the rest of 2017.

“I have decided SB 562 will remain in the Assembly Rules Committee until further notice,” Rendon said in a statement.

Any figures on just how many people in CA will die as a result of this non-action by CA dems?

4. I don't get it
 
His wiki page says that he was raised in a lower middle class family and he allegedly benefited from social safety net programs. His family obviously struggled to make ends meet when he was growing up. Why would he deny others health care?

Dems voting against his own best interests.

6. The rest of the story (statement from Speaker Rendon re: putting sb562 on hold)
 
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) released the following statement on health care:

“Yesterday, Republicans in the U.S. Senate released a cynical plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act, posing a real and immediate threat to millions of Californians who only have health coverage because of the ACA.

“Preparing California to meet this threat must be the top health care priority for the Legislature, Governor Brown, and organizations that advocate for increasing access to health care.

“As someone who has long been a supporter of single payer, I am encouraged by the conversation begun by Senate Bill 562.

“However, SB 562 was sent to the Assembly woefully incomplete. Even senators who voted for SB 562 noted there are potentially fatal flaws in the bill, including the fact it does not address many serious issues, such as financing, delivery of care, cost controls, or the realities of needed action by the Trump Administration and voters to make SB 562 a genuine piece of legislation......

BAM!

21. How long is this going to take?

Dems have been putting forth single payer plans since Truman in the 1940s. One would think they would have a good plan worked out by now. These opportunities don't come by very often.....

CA needs to start printing their own money.

Time to stage a "Die-In"?

How about right outside Gov. Moonbeam's office?

They had this all figured out except how to pay for it.

They would have had to tax every worker 110%

Right now Obummer don't care is the law of the land and requires every single person to purchase health insurance, failure to do so results in a penalty in the form of a fine or imprisonment.  How is this Governor denying health care to others?

Trying to help explain why this bill didn't pass, a dummy posts a statement from Speaker Rendon. Orleans (a dummy who is still confused) asks for more info., and all is answered.

Somebody must've gotten through to Rendon that CA could not possibly afford government-paid health"care".

Of course they can't. They have to pay for all those lawyers to protect illegal immigrants from deportation. Screw the citizens, the illegals are more important.

In other words it failed to address anything.

Why stage it? Make it real.

It's not Moonbeam's fault the Speaker had an unexpected moment of lucidity. Do it in the Capitol rotunda, where their moronicity is clear for the public to see.

yeah, financing the bill might be a slight problem...

I'm surprised IL and PR are ahead of CA in this respect.

[SVPete]

  Just read it, 'K?

[Old n Grumpy]

Financing it? WTF? it is FREE.

I propose a 10000% tax on recreational pot.

From the article I linked above:

Anger over Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon’s decision to shelve universal health care legislation in California has boiled into aggressive protests and even violent rhetoric against the Democratic leader. Rendon said Wednesday that he and his family have experienced “distressing” death threats since announcing late last Friday that the “woefully incomplete” Senate Bill 562 would not move forward this year.

This is the politico-social atmosphere Ds, Libs, and Progs created. How they could not know they would soon turn it inward on someone not "Progressive" enough is more than I can understand. Hey Speaker Rendon! You all created this, so

I propose a 10000% tax on recreational pot.

Now, that's an idea well worth considering.

[Skul]

But of course.     

Good for one.

It's been quite a few years since I have been in Sacramento, but as memory serves, the road in front of the capitol building is a pretty high-traffic thoroughfare.

Seems like a good place for loony Leftists in California to go and lay down in the street to protest.

All the streets thereabouts are fairly busy, between the drones and normal people trying to get work done by the drones. But I think nearby I-5 or the Tower Bridge would be even better for games of Protester Red Rover.

The solution is simple, Pass the bill charge them all $2500.00 a year. Then send them a box of band aids and a bottle of aspirin.

... in Sacramento ... the road in front of the capitol building ...

Apropos of udderly nothing, I'm considering doing a half marathon whose course goes by the Capitol Building. It's called the Urban Cow Half Marathon. Two weeks earlier I'm planning on doing the Clo-Cow Half Marathon in Petaluma. Both have cow bell finisher's medals.
