REQUIRED Health Insurance?

Hey, how are things in California?  Here is what the REPUBLICAN  governor proposed yesterday.  Hold on - he's requiring health insurance "his administration argues that so many more people would have insurance that medical providers would make more money."  What???  He is now worried about the bottom line of health care providers???????


Quoted from the LATimes story, 9Jan07;


The governor also wants to ban insurers from refusing to offer coverage to some individuals because of their prior medical conditions. Insurers would also have to spend at least 85% of their premium revenues on patient care, a move that would limit the amount companies spend on administrative costs and profits.

In an effort to cover all Californian children, including ones in the state illegally, Schwarzenegger's plan would expand the state's Healthy Families program, providing insurance to children whose parents make less than three times the poverty level. That works out to about $60,000 for a family of four.

And Schwarzenegger said his plan would require every Californian to have health insurance.

"If you can't afford it, the state will help you buy it," he said, "but you must be insured."
 
...nah, nah, nah...if you can't take care of yourself we, the all-great-and-powerfull-government, will have to do it for you and raise everyone's taxes.
 
What happens to Republicans after they're elected?  Do they receive lobotomies or something when they arrive at their post?  Maybe you need another recall election to get rid of this governor like you did to the last one.  Good luck!
