The Hackenblog has moved to http://hackenblog.hackenbush.org/ or www.hackenblog.com.Please update your links, thank you.[Previous entry: "No on Prop 90"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "GOP Tractor Terrorism in Fresno and Bakerfield California"] 08/21/2006 Entry: "Universal healthcare in CA" "California Connected, a joint production of several PBS stations in California, aired a segment about Alex, a 4th grader living in SoCal that does not have insurance. You can view the segment here. "There a few issues that could truly be solved in the legislature. The list is short due to the influence of Prop 13 and its supermajority tax and budget requirements. But one area which could be immediately fixed is health care. And such a plan is currently pending in the legislature, it's SB 840 sponsored by Sen. Kuehl. SB 840 would change the insurance model of California to one where the state government would be the provider. "Now some would scare you by saying that we don't want the state to choose which procedures we could get. But let's think about that honestly. Who makes those decisions now? For-profit health care companies. Who would make those decisions under SB 840? The State? Is the state really scarier than the private insurance companies? Does the state have to report increasing profits every quarter? The answer is clear: SB 840 is the right thing to do for the state's children." It would be a miracle. I would rather argue with the State's beancounters than Pacific(Doesn't)Care's. Posted by GM
