3/13/18 RE: Raise taxes or ration health care? Why single-payer won't work in California. Yet by Angela Hart
The Bee’s scary headlines say, in effect, “Sure, single payer is cheaper than what you’re already paying, but we can’t afford it.” The story under the headline says the state would need a payroll tax of $600 a month to pay for single-payer healthcare, and then quotes the subject of its story as saying "I'm already paying 700 bucks a month..."
The headline says this $100 monthly savings is a cost!? Has the Bee been smoking legal marijuana?
Typical of most right-wing attacks on single-payer, the Bee also expresses concern that it will drive business out of the state. No mention of Toyota locating a plant in Toronto rather than Detroit because they were concerned about adding health care costs to the price of their cars.
When will the Bee stop pretending to be liberal or unbiased?
