“Lawmakers in Sacramento’s Dem-led statehouse voted 7-1 in committee to kill a bill that would expand state health insurance to cover millions more and mandated that residents get covered. Dems said the state could not afford the bill’s $14bil price tag. It was blow to Gov. Schwarzenegger, the top proponent of the bill.”
The question is how come the federal govt could afford single payer health care, but the very liberal state of Ca. cannot?
Simple. California can’t print money.
California can’t afford to start wars, either.
