Something ugly happened this week in California\u2019s liberal-dominated legislature: Governor Schwarzenegger\u2019s health-care overhaul–negotiated with Democrats,successfully passed the state assembly– could not muster enough votes to get out of a key Senate committee. No life support, folks; the thing isdead.<\/p>\n

This was a breakthrough plan, at a discount price. Why, for a mere 15 billion<\/emphasize> dollars– a mere pittance– 70 percent of California\u2019s uninsured population(over 5 million people)could have had instant free health care! Sure, government mandates would have increased; businesses, hospitals, and smokers would have faced higher taxes. ButCalifornia was in a position to once again lead the way,to show the rest of America how to deliver socialized medicine to the masses.<\/p>\n

With so much at stake, with the dream so clo<\/emphasize>se to being realized, why — how<\/emphasize>— could liberal senators kill it? Democrat Sheila Kuehl, who headed the execution Committee, says: “It doesn\u2019t matter if there are all these good things in the bill, if there\u2019s not sufficient funding to pay for them.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it? That\u2019s the excuse? No money? This bill, which would have given hope <\/emphasize>and free health care to millions, was killed over… money? Minorities and the poor are now going to be hardest hit– again– because a few heartless, mean-spirited, shortsighted California bimbo legislators don\u2019t want to spend the money? When has that ever stopped them, folks?<\/p>\n

This is humiliating! I don\u2019t know how California legislators can ever show their faces in public again. (Actually, dirty little secret is, unlike the feds, the state can\u2019t print money.)They\u2019re cooked!<\/p>\n
