Gavin Newsom Reveals Plan For Single-Payer Healthcare In California 'Regardless Of Immigration Status'
ByEMILY ZANOTTI
August 29, 2018
California gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom doubled down on claims he made earlier this month that he'd turn California into a single-payer healthcare state, telling the Pod Save America podcast that he plans on expanding Medicare to cover every Californian ? even illegal immigrants.
?I?d like to see if we can control our own destiny,? Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, said. ?I?m not naive about it. I did universal health care when I was mayor, fully implemented regardless of pre-existing conditions, ability to pay, and regardless of your immigration status."
?San Francisco is the only universal health care system for all undocumented residents in America, very proud of that. We proved it could be done without bankrupting the city. I?d like to see that we can extend that to the rest of the state,? he continued.
Newsom, of course, was mayor of San Francisco, a city that's in dire financial straits and struggling to manage simple tasks like cleaning human feces off its sidewalks as a result of some of its bizarre, far-left policies.
But that won't stop Newsom, and neither will a likely $400 billion-per-year anticipated price tag. In fact, he's actually not that worried about the cost; he's more worried about transitioning to a single-payer healthcare program.
?It?s the transition that?s the challenge,? he said. ?It?s going from something old to something new, where the whitewater is.?
It may be more of a challenge than he thinks: doctors and California's healthcare administrators are against the prospect of a fully single-payer system, largely because it will tank their salaries, and they're planning on opposing any legislation designed to make big changes.
Newsom doesn't seem worried, and he certainly doesn't seem worried about his electoral chances. He's widely seen as the favorite to win the California gubernatorial election in November.

Just another "TAX" for us Californians that work. Or some might see this as another reason to leave California. I hope the state provides free 8 ball of "H" for everyone. 0 -
Just illustrative of the way DEMOCRATs think relative to where the money going to come from...they don't.
I guess it never occurred to Newsome illegal aliens don't pay taxes and CA already has pension liabilities they don't have money to pay for either.
Typical DEMOCRAT solutions are always to tax and regulate. The state already has the highest state income tax: Over 13%. Wise people should get the hell out. The bad news is Newsome will be the next governor.0 -
let em do it, if I ever get sick all I would have to do is go to california, free medical.............no questions asked 0 -
bet the idiot is counting on the rest of the other states tax monies to cover his KALIF costs 0 -
If it gets him elected he's for it.
If he can't get it passed he can blame someone else and promise to get it the second time.
It's a win/win for the politician.
But it's a "no win" situation for the taxpayers.[xx(]0 -

Yep, people will leave California to better places and try and shape that place into the chithole they left. Shampoo, rinse, repeat [:(]0 -
In a way I feel sorry for the working tax paying folks in California but there is a silver lining to this dark cloud.(For the rest of the country)
Every border jumping illegal that ends up in the states will beat feet to California resulting in fewer illegals for the rest of us to deal with.
They will get free health care along with all the other freebies and be in their sanctuary cities thumbing their noses at the rest of the country.
I can almost bet there will be a mass exodus of the tax paying middle class.0 -
I thought Obamacare was going to fix the medical issue in America? There were (D) governors and party members dancing in the streets over the final solution to medicine for Americans (and illegals). Ain't California part of America, enjoying reduced healthcare costs like nobody is?????
Hell, Joe Biden was caught on a hot mike whispering "this is a big effin deal". Only he did not say effin......0 -
If they pass that, well, it cannot be realistic but hey, it's CA. They will be overrun even more so will rodents from everywhere. 0 -
We'll have to bail them out. 0 -

Why worry when your SEIU union minions are servicing the Diebold voting machines?
This state is so borked. Even liberal owned business is bailing out of here, along with anyone that can afford to vote with their feet.
Calif already has their own version of Obama care, and it was underwater in 6 months.
I would like to hear how blewsome plans to pay for this. You need business tax and working taxpayers to fund your unicorn dreams, and you already caused a shortage of both.0 -
If this nutjob communist is elected, and implements this along with his open borders "sanctuary state" policy, he will destroy the state.
Millions of Latinos will flood into his state for the free medical, costs will escalate into the billions. These costs must be borne by California tax payers.
In several years the state will collapse.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.0 -

No you won't. The pot money will fix everything. We'll have the Mexicans to pick the pot and have them process them as well. Have the stoned masses vote for their side. Since the illegals will be able to vote "legally" California will do their own thing.0
