I bought an illegal showerhead and had it shipped to my sister that lives out of state so she could ship it to me.

Yeah, but it was mighty tempting given the local water supply was essentially in the same category as mineral water and there were some local water pumping stations getting elevated levels of.... what was it now... chromium6?

Its so fun how Dems pushed healthcare reforms under a Republican governor knowing it wouldn't pass but don't do poo poo with a super majority. And now some of them talk about strangely specific rape jokes.

And when they do pass something good, Newsom the democratic governor will just veto it. Like ranked choice voting.

I mean, it pales in comparison to what they could and should do, but they did get medi-cal coverage for undocumented people up to age 26 and created a brand new state subsidy that helps a single person making up to about 75k/yr (600% federal poverty level) when fed subsidies cut off around 46k (400%).

On that note, I had to go to the ER twice recently with not-COVID. I don't have health insurance right now, but supposedly because I was displaying COVID symptoms (fever) and got a test, I qualified for a temporary pandemic-based MediCal enrollment and supposedly will not be charged for my two ER visits. I'm extremely skeptical of this level of social benefit policy being real, but if it is it's a remarkably prudent piece of legislation to come out of California.

Realistically we need a proper state tax base to do something big like state M4A and we're still too scared to even rollback insane anti-tax measures like Prop 13. As bad and cowardly as our representatives are (they are), a lot of Democratic voters here are even worse. Prop 15 lost even though Dems outnumber Republicans almost 2-1 here. Almost 2-1!!!

I would argue the problem isn't the tax base, people already pay more than necessary for healthcare every year. What you need are strong mandated price controls and an understanding of what you can charge for stuff. Which is nightmare fuel for the current understanding of government among the masses.

And yeah MV is some pretty garbage tier stuff. If the person is lower income they'd be better off getting something from the insurance marketplace with subsidies than paying for MV. Edit: to be clear this is a defect with ACA but the CA expanded subsidies follow the same rules so they don't apply either. BeAuMaN fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Dec 5, 2020 |

BeAuMaN posted:* as long as said persons aren't offered a Minimum Value insurance plan (with a cost not exceeding a certain % of their income) by their employer. Persons who are offered MV aren't eligible for subsidies. A lot of companies and in particular temp agencies have the MV calculated so they dont qualify for subsidies... I don't know how fines or penalties work on the company end if they don't offer affordable MV insurance but they sure work hard to make sure it's there. This is absolutely 100% true and a huge pain in the rear end especially especially especially if you have dependents, because that's when health insurance gets dummy expensive. It's not a problem unique to california, but it needs to get solved. Edit: oh I see your edit and yes, agreed again.

It's not a problem unique to california, but it needs to get solved. Yeah... The scaling subsidies being available for single people up to $75k/year sounds great on paper, however I imagine that the higher you go on that income, the more likely it is that the individual will be working for a company that offers an qualifying MV health insurance plan. I think the expanded California subsidies are fairly recent iirc, so we probably don't have much in the way of stats, but I'd be interested to see how that tends to shake out. In theory there should be stats for regular ACA subsidies for how many people with reported incomes less than $46k are buying plans without subsidies. In my case I still went with a marketplace plan because a higher end plan without subsidies was the more affordable compared to the top-tier option that was available at work for comparable features.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Major bribery scandal in San Francisco Public Works Department. It's famously the case that it costs almost nothing to bribe someone. It's not like you have to get someone $50,000 in perks to get stuff done. Plenty of people can easily be bribe for a few hundred to a couple thousand bucks.

The Department of Public Works was corrupt top to bottom, and that covers a lot of territory; then you add in all the people who interacted with the head of the DPW.
