Looking at the fires in S Ca, and you claim Climate change is not real. Incredible

California’s population declined during the pandemic, with the largest losses occurring in the first year. This was due to a number of factors, including: A sharp increase in people moving to other states, Fewer births, Higher deaths, and Lower international migration.
However, net immigration to California increased from July 2022 to July
What the hell are you talking about?
Medicaid etc hae been around for decades.
We always had free healthcare for the poor.
Obamacare provided free healthcare for nobody (zero people).
It did two things:
-
---->It it required that employers PAY for PAID healthcare for low-wage employees. It merely transferred the poor out of a single-payer system and into a employer-paid system
-
----> It was a dramatic superhuge giveaway to the aging baby-boomers (the same folks who made out in the great housing giveaway) ---- Those who had spent their entire young lives paying for health insurance at discount rates for being young, turned old and now get “equal rates” because the discount rates they enjoyed their entire lives are now largely illegal.
CA has the highest population. CA is about 20th in poverty rate, at 12,3%. Texas 14.2%
Louisiana at 19.6%, W Virginia 18,8% Utah has the lowest at 8.6%

How much did ACA expand Medicaid?
The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) Medicaid expansion expanded Medicaid coverage to nearly all adults with incomes up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level ($20,783 for an individual in 2024) and provided states with an enhanced federal matching rate (FMAP) for their expansion populations.Nov 12, 2024
Sadly, many Red states did not enact this expansion…they sued to not have to pay for it, and the bought off SCOTUS agreed they can refuse to not participate.
I just showed yo the article the proves that wrong.
If you understood basic economics you would understand it’s the cost of living that makes Cal the poorest state. But instead you get fooled by the federal poverty line. An artificial rating that has little to do with the cost of living or poverty!

I was not refering to medicaid expansion,
Here is what I menat:
BEFORE: You are poor and youget sick. You are covered by a single-payer sstem called medicaid. (and related programs.)
AFTER: You are poor and you get sick. You are no longer covered by that single payer system.You are ineligible for it because your boss already provides you with health insurance.
Honestly I think these are two of the postive aspects to Obamacare. It got rid of the free ride taxpayers were giving to low-end employers (Mcdonalds, Walmart etc.) and got rid of single-payer for the underemployed. Those two postive aspects of it are not enough to make me like the plan, but yeah those positive aspects do exist.
This represents today’s Republicans quite well.
Denying people access to affordable health care is a positive move by government.
Instead of let them eat cake, let them suffer and die.
Y’all should run on those ideals.
This represents today’s Democrats quite well.
(Just a bunch of liars and the fools who believe them.)
No one wa denied access.
Before: Covered by single-payer (called Medicaid etc)
After: covered by employer.
See? Nothing new. No one was denied before. No one is added now.
I will repeat for emphasis:
Before: Covered by single-payer (called Medicaid etc)
After: covered by employer.
If you don’t think you pay enough in taxes, feel free to send the Treasury more money.
I’ll let Reagan explain it to you.

California is the poster child for wealth disparity between its richest and poorest citizens. And only getting worse as unbridled progressive policies drive employers from the state, all the while encouraging homelessness through subsidizing bad behavior.

So the folks in the states where the governors did not implement the Medicaid expansion are all covered?
Notice his statement that the state is forcing cities to build more apartments instead of single family homes. Those immigrants have to stay somewhere.
And which do we want for our descendants…apartment cities or homes?
It’s only going to get worse when states like Texas have an ICE to work with. Guess who will take the illegals and hide them

Reagan…the main cause of the current transfer of wealth form the middle class to the very wealthy.
Reagan was an actor. Trump became an actor on that lame show I never watched.
Bad actors. Even worse as POTUS.
News…Reagan has been gone 35 years we’ve had three Democrat Presidents and periods when these also controlled congress. They had plenty of time to change anything they didn’t like. They managed to come up with opening our borders.

You are conflating two issues
(I suspect deliberately so that you can avoid admitting the basic truth of what I have posted.)
Issue 1
Before: Covered by single-payer (called Medicaid etc)
After: covered by employer.
(ergo no change)
Issue 2
Some kinda change in what was left of Medicaid
