New legislation will cover i*****l i*******ts' single-payer health care


politics | Jan 23, 2018 | By David Jaroslav

Washington State and Florida don’t have a lot in common: aside from being at opposite corners of the country, both their political climates and their actual climates are poles apart. But one thing they do suddenly have in common are bills in their state legislatures to provide taxpayer-funded healthcare to i*****l a***ns. In common between them, too, is that neither state has infinite resources, a fact that evidently must come as a great surprise to the supporters of these fiscally reckless bills.

Washington Senate Bill 5957 and Florida’s two bills, House Bill 1385 and Senate Bill 1872, aren’t just similar: they’re virtually identical. You might suspect the same people probably drafted them. That’s because they both copy nearly word-for-word a single-payer healthcare bill introduced last year in California, Senate Bill 562, the so-called “Healthy California Act.” As with seemingly everything to come out of California lately, one of its main goals appears to have been giving as many handouts as possible to i*****l a***ns at the expense of American taxpayers.

In one section after another, the California bill makes clear repeatedly that i*****l a***ns should get all the same benefits as U.S. citizens and legal residents, and that not giving them these benefits would be “discrimination.” On top of that, the single-payer healthcare system that it creates might as well be called “sanctuary healthcare” because the bill prohibits both disclosure of immigration status information and any kind of cooperation or assistance with federal immigration authorities. And all these provisions are copied virtually unchanged straight into Washington’s and Florida’s bills.

SB 562 proved too extreme and expensive even for California: the state’s own fiscal analysis said it would cost $400 billion, half of which would require new revenue. That would have been more than twice the state’s total 2017-18 budget, “which includes $183.3 billion in spending.” But of course it was the overall price tag that was the “gigantic brick wall” that made it a “nonstarter,” not the fact that it heaped yet more public benefits on i*****l a***ns.

Washington State faced a budget shortfall last year, and just barely averted a state shutdown by raising taxes at the last minute. It’s already expected to face a similar crunch this year, and that’s without creating a massive new welfare program for i*****l a***ns.

Florida’s fiscal situation was a little bit better than Washington’s—that is, until Hurricane Irma hit the Sunshine State in September. Inflation-adjusted recovery costs are likely to match those from Wilma in 2005 and Andrew in 1992, while revenue can be expected to drop. In the wake of the storm, the legislature’s chief economist has projected that the state’s small anticipated surplus is gone, replaced by $500-million deficits for at least the next three years without major changes.

If there’s anything that’s almost certain, it’s that government programs never come in under budget. If there’s anything else that might be even more certain, it’s that creating expensive new benefit programs for i*****l a***ns just attracts even more i*****l a***ns, which makes those programs still more expensive. Neither Washington nor Florida could afford these costly bills even in the best of times, let alone now, and they should reject them.

Could it be it's cheaper to buy these people insurance than have them in the emergency room??

Or maybe be a citizen and have the RIGHT to be given free medical?

US citizenship confers the right to free medical? Where do I go to be treated? Would save me a bundle!!! Why has no one told me about this!!!

It would be less expensive to deport them. What is it about the word 'illegal' that you fail to comprehend?

Nuclearian Loc: I live in a Fascist, Liberal State

In the CONTEXT of my message, I said that AMERICANS have more a right to free medical than they do. Especially when they are getting it.

Nuclearian Loc: I live in a Fascist, Liberal State

Maybe he is right, and you are just an America hating fool?

Singularity

Nope. I checked. I do not h**e America. Here is how I checked.

I sang the first line of the "Star Spangled Banner." I teared up, as usual, and was unable to come in on tempo for the second line...

Nuclearian Loc: I live in a Fascist, Liberal State

And your side of our government (dimbocraps) can sing it AND h**e the country also.

Singularity

That is untrue and unkind. And such pissy attitudes are a big part of our problem.

Singularity

So this is not meant to just give an accurate report of a factual situation? You are throwing shade because you are passionate about your bigotry.

Not if the taxpayer has to pay for it. Florida's governor won't go for it. He refused to expand medicaid for NObamaCARE. Said he didn't trust DC and knew the taxpayer would be on the hook for it. No such thing as free healthcare. Somebody has to pay for it and that always means the taxpayer.

A much better health care system is called preventative medicine. In this plan, you are required to attend programs designed to keep you healthy and not wait until your bad health habits make you sick and you end up costing all of us millions of dollars. Now with this plan no pandering to i******s to get their v**es from corrupt politicians (mainly demonrats) is needed as the proper way to stay healthy would be the rule. Simple ideas like, no smoking, no drugs, take your vitamins and minerals, quit buying sweets and alcohol with your food stamps, get 6 hours of sleep instead of running the streets and staying on your cell phone 24/7, try exercising daily. If the individual did not adhere to these healthy programs, money would be taken out of their paychecks to pay for their future medical problems and the taxpayer would be spared higher premiums. This program could be expanded on and it would definitely keep the l*****t politicians from raping taxpayers to pay for i******s health benefits and their v**es.

I have always believed in helping those less fortunate than myself. I use to give everything that I could until mexican i******s tried not once but twice to k**l me.
I rented a house to 3 hard working guys until one day I dropped in to find 15 people living in my small historic house. After explaining to them that they had to leave they proceeded to trash my house and contents.
Will I ever help these blood suckers again ?
Most likely, but I want them gone from America and they can come here legally.
Do they contribute to our economy? Only for their benefit and not ours.
Since they had my home address ( living in a small town) one of the people that had lived in my house had run up a 55K hospital bill. They used my address for the hospital. The bill came to my home. I opened it not realizing it was addressed to someone else. To my surprise the hospital that chases me for a 1200.00 bill had forgiven this illegal that 55K bill !
