Another Democrat controlled state planning its own fiscal demise.  California already has a state and local debt load of about $1.3 trillion, with the second worse credit rating in the nation.  The Democrat controlled areas are the two coastal enclaves, plus outliers like Chicago.  All of those three are located near large bodies of water.  Perhaps, there is something in the water driving them insane. 

"Sacramento  A sweeping proposal to replace private medical insurance in California with a single, government-run health care system has suddenly taken on sharp political edges for democrats, threatening party unity even as it promises to mobilize voters on the left.

Supporters say single-payer proposals like Senate Bill 562, which the state Senate could vote on this week, are becoming a hard-and-fast litmus test for Democrats in California, and perhaps nationally despite the long odds of one state going it alone with a top-to-bottom health care overhaul.

From here on out, single-payer and in particular 562 is going to be for Democrats what abortion is for Republicans, said Don Nielsen, a lobbyist for the powerful California Nurses Association, the bill's lead sponsor.

Pent-up frustration over the Democrats' inability or unwillingness to create such a system nationally or statewide  exploded last weekend at the California Democratic Convention. Throngs of supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and other activists organized by the nurses' union disrupted speeches and threatened to incumbent Democrats who don't get on board.

The uprising delivered a clear message for California's Democratic politicians: SB 562 is not just a conversation starter hastily drafted under the specter of an Affordable Care Act repeal; it must be passed and signed into law. Now.

Then, two days later, came the numbers: California would have to collect roughly $200 billion in private funding to run the $400 billion program, most likely through a payroll tax that Californians would pay instead of premiums, co-pays and deductibles, according to a long-awaited Senate committee report. The $200 billion is more than the state's entire $124 billion general fund budget, which pays for everything from K-12 education to social services."

Everything they do is just another excuse for a bailout. Liberals
at any position involving a budgetary plan is a fail and that hasn't
failed to be true yet. I remember they threw him out of office,
stupid is as stupid does, so they voted him back in. Yep, liberals
are stupid from top to bottom bar none.

I no longer believe the stupid argument -- evil better describes it.  A zombie parasite that kills the mind of its host, leaving a semblance of life, while destroying civilization.
