Albert Brooks wrote a fictional story about America in 2030 and one of the parts of the story is China takes over healthcare in California after the big earthquake hits and it was a good book.

and therefore I don't know how you get to $400b even when taking into account increased spending thanks to newly-covered people Anime Schoolgirl posted:and you think 25k/year families footing the rest of the bill is reasonable...why? of course you raise taxes; I was saying I don't see how it's even as much as they're saying, and the sticker shock to begin with is because the state would be paying 100% when it's currently paying like 10% of the cost Hell, Medicaid/CHIP covers 26% of Californians at $82b. Multiply by 4 and that's less than $400b. State single payer wouldn't necessarily get rid of federal Medicaid contributions either. I mean total state spending would probably be more like $200b, which is like a $170b increase.

lol that basically nobody even wants to suggest raising taxes on the wealthy tho lol: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-pollin-single-payer-healthcare-healthy-california-20170621-story.html single payer is doable!!!!!! (by raising sales and taxes on businesses) quote:First, California could impose a gross receipts tax of 2.3% on businesses, but with an exemption for the first $2 million of revenue. Through such an exemption, about 80% of all businesses in California — small firms — would pay nothing in gross receipts tax, and medium-sized businesses would pay an effective tax rate of less than 1%.

paranoid randroid posted:i dont even remember how GA-6 became the end all be all of elections but my hot take is that if you're pinning all your hopes and dreams on suburban southerners not being awful, you might be in trouble there were a ton of Republican contenders splitting the conservative vote in the primary while Ossoff was the only Dem running, so they thought there was a good chance he could slide into power by exploiting GOP incompetence to win the majority in the primary while all the GOP contenders were too busy fighting each other he failed, naturally, but by then everyone involved was too high on their own farts to ask "why do we think he'd do better against one opponent than against ten?" for all the money they spent, he didnt do any better in the general than in the primary, so despite all the campaigning they did, the only thing that changed is that all the Republican voters voted Handel Anime Schoolgirl posted:and you think 25k/year families footing the rest of the bill is reasonable...why? its illegal to raise taxes in California it's basically the one state where a legislator can say "but it's expensive  " without necessarily being a shitlord

GalacticAcid posted:https://twitter.com/WSpriggs/status/826556764242006019 William Spriggs has an interesting essay in The American Prospect, Why The White Worker Theme is Harmful. quote:while in the fall of 2015 Republicans fawned over attending games between the University of Alabama and Auburn, not a peep was heard on the need for Democrats to be at a game between Alabama State and Alabama A&M. Black voters often determine the victor in the Southern Democratic primaries, but spending time in Iowa and New Hampshire would be a likely outcome of a party worried about white working voters. Selected this section more or less arbitrarily, the whole thing is worth a read.
