Cost of single payer in Cali would be more than entire general fund budget

[publicunofficial]

Like the article Alpha posted says; California currently spends about $200 Billion on healthcare, with employers spending another $100-150 billion. This single payer plan would only add another $50-100 billion (Which would total about 15% of California's GDP) and would offer complete and total coverage with no premiums.

I still prefer a national plan rather than state-based systems, but who knows when the stars will align for that.

Both California Senators on the proposal

Feinstein:


Harris:


Feinstein recently used the phrase "Government take over of healthcare" to describe single payer at a recent town hall. The audience was not pleased.
