This is the man that is likely to become the next Governor of California .
He wants to hand out health insurance to illegal aliens . This would of course encourage even more to come to California . The cost estimate of this single payer plan is $400 Billion a year ... over TWICE the states entire budget. This is totally nuts . It almost seems like the goal of these liberal politicians is to bankrupt and/or destroy the entire state with all these terrible ideas .

“Gavin Newsom is currently running for Governor in California and, barring something dramatic, he is going to win. So when he says he plans to bring single payer to California as Governor, there’s a very good chance he’ll get his shot. Today, Newsom appeared on the Pod Save America podcast where he was asked about his health care plans. Newsom made clear he wants a single paper system that is for everyone in the state regardless of immigration status.”
“That will indeed be a challenge. Last year an estimate of the cost of implementing single payer in California concluded it would cost $400 billion per year, or more than double the state’s current annual budget.”
This is exactly why I don't support a socialist health system such as the UK has, our liberals would be actively recruiting millions of aids patients from Africa to be treated at my expense.

Another dangerous idiot like Brown who makes up a lie and then believes it.......the lie is the people want a train lax-sfo when they don't.....the lie is we owe health care to everybody, do we owe free car repairs as well?
*******s dream up giveaways and let the working stiffs pay for it.

As long as it's a wholly state program he can do it. This is what voters in CA want, this is what they'll get.
The problem is that the conservatives will challenge California in the courts by demanding that every person anywhere in the country can just move to CA and get treatment. Effectively, the red states can kick out all their sick and disabled people and the CA taxpayers have to foot the bill. And the corporate judges will demand that CA provide it to everyone. Its why it should be a federal program like Medicare. Not state-wide.
How is it possible if it would cost over 2x the current state budget ?
It would be nice to see them try - at least someone in the US would be making an effort to improve upon the current system BUT the only way to do it is going to work on the cost side of the equation and that means fighting insurance companies, Hospitals and Doctors alike.
It's uncovered Pension and Health Insurance obligations that drove CA budget so deep in the red in the first place.
