My heart broke last week when I happened upon a liberal (oh I'm sorry, I meant "progressive") talk radio program. The host's voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. Then I realized it the was same voice from the Eukanuba or AKC (can't quite remember which) dog shows - Ronald Reagan, Jr.
Apparently, he has a new gig now which must be causing Dad to turn over in his grave. Spouting ridiculous claims that capitalism is to blame for our country's current economic situation, he said, "We're captive to the capitalistic free market system."
What the heck? We're captive? Ronny, Ronny, Ronny. Is this some latent Oedipus complex? Were you neglected as a child? We need an intervention and quickly. No, not Dr. Drew, Dr. Phil, or even Dr. Laura. We need to call out the big guns. Calling Dr. Ron Paul......calling Dr. Paul.....

California AB810. Ever heard of it? Nope, me either - until today that is. Where the heck have I been?
AB810 is a bill just passed in the State Senate and now in the Assembly.It mandates universal health care in California. It was authored by some guy named Leno so I'm pretty sure he's a comedian. Or insane.
Maybe he didn't get the memo that taxpayers don't want universal health care. Where the heck has HE been? Didn't he read that Newfoundland's Premier is coming to the U.S. this week for his heart surgery? But hey, let's not let good sense get in the way of this awesome, super awesome bill.
Here's a little taste of what AB810 contains:
1. 140000.6. No health care service plan contract or health insurance policy except for the California Healthcare System plan may be sold in California for services provided by the system.
2. 140400. All California residents shall be eligible for the system. Residency shall be based on physical presence in the state with the intent to reside.
3. 140503. NOT COVERED: Health services determined to have no medical indication by the commissioner and chief medical officer.
So, no other insurance will be allowed, EVERYONE who happens to be standing on California soil is eligible,and a commissioner and medical officer will determine if your medical condition warrants treatment.
What could possibly go wrong?
