      This is gonna be interesting.

      With the healthcare of millions of Californians at stake if Congress repeals the Affordable Care Act, a state senator is introducing legislation Friday to establish a single-payer system.

      Under single-payer, the state would negotiate prices for services and prescriptions with providers, pharmaceutical companies and others.

      Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, said he intends to introduce a bare-bones measure and begin a conversation with stakeholders about the best way to move forward.

      “This is an issue that we need to lead on now more than ever given the rhetoric we hear in Washington,” Lara said. “Dismantling the Affordable Care Act has been part of Trump’s agenda all along. As California leaders, we will be responsible for the delivery of healthcare for millions of people.”

      Lara envisions a system that would “cut out insurance company waste and duplication that currently exists.”

      “There’s no more out-of-control co-pays and high deductibles,” he said.

      Last month at Lara’s urging, California withdrew a request to the federal government for permission to allow undocumented people to obtain health insurance from Covered California, the state’s healthcare exchange. Lara, linking the decision to concerns about the incoming Trump administration, called it “the first California casualty of the Trump presidency.”

      Lara said Thursday that a single-payer health care system would enable the state to extend coverage to undocumented adults. Meanwhile, the current budget included $45 million to provide full Medi-Cal coverage to 185,000 undocumented children.y
      I'm sure there are tons of things a movement conservative White House could do to sabotage this out of their terror that a working single payer system would completely destroy their defense of "devil take the hindmost" health care. But Trump, for all his faults, aint a movement conservative. And Huey Long-style dictators loves a top-down system -- it appeals to their sense of tyrannical aesthetics.

      So if the USG stays out of the way of CA and they enact a single payer system and it succeeds, just as the GOP yanks out Obamacare and kicks 20M Americans off the insurance rolls...

            Nope, if California can start figuring out things like health care on their own the more likely they're going to realize they're better off on their own and not be wanting their money propping up poor red states.

              I don't think CA wants to ensure the rump USA is always led by authoritarian f-cktards with nukes, because they can leave the Union but they can't move off the continent.

                That's step 206.

                And while not much can be done about the ICBM part of the triad the potential PR could carve out a good slice of the other two. Heck a good chunk of the sea part is already in the West.

                      Popcorn, please.

                      Brooks, a member of the House Freedom Caucus who advocates a full repeal of the health care law, worried there may not even be a vote at this point.

                      "But this monstrosity needs to be repealed and right now, in my judgment, we don't have the votes in Congress to pass a repeal bill, in part because of what these people are doing," he said.

                      Brooks said that House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) doesn't really support a full repeal of the ACA and merely supports amending the law.

                      "They’re calling an amendment a repeal in order to deceive the public," Brooks said.

                      The congressman argued that President Donald Trump also does not support a full repeal.

                      "Quite frankly, I don't know that this administration supports a full repeal," he said. "To the contrary, the President has expressed support for some of the provisions that are in Obamacare. And if that's the case, if that ends up being the administration's position, then that is not a repeal of Obamacare, that's an amendment of Obamacare."

                      When the host mentioned Trump's support of a provision of the law that lets parents keep their children on their health insurance policies until age 26, Brooks argued that Trump supports other Obamacare provisions, too.

                      "Remember when Donald Trump publicly stated during the campaign that he's going to make sure everybody has health insurance?" Brooks asked. "That's Obamacare."
                      I for one welcome the coming Tarantino standoff between Trump, the Freedumb Caucus and the GOP Leadership. If they all shoot, we all win.

                        It's best for the Democrats if they repeal the POS and don't do anything else. So, here's hoping that wins. Certainly that mentality is winning on the Immigration and LBGTQ rights fronts.
