Planes para socializar los seguros médicos en California
Como dice Ronald Bailey, si ahora son los canadienses los que cruzan la frontera en busca de sanidad privada para evitar las interminables listas de espera de su sistema público, si se aprueba la ley de la senadora Kuehl serán los californianos los que tendrán que ir a Arizona o a Nevada a proveerse de servicios sanitarios mejores.
A plan to outlaw private health insurance in California has been proposed by state Sen. Sheila Kuehl (D-Los Angeles). Senator Kuehl's bill, SB840, proposes to create the California Health Insurance Agency, a state government run single payer system for financing the health care of all Californians. Her bill, if enacted, would abolish all private health insurance in the Golden State. Her legislation essentially aims to replicate the system of socialized medicine in Canada which, until a recent court ruling in Quebec, made all private health care illegal. Her health care proposal is more authoritarian than the health care systems in the United Kingdom or Germany in which citizens can buy private insurance if they so choose.
