SB 810 is back! Students, doctors, and many others from the campaign group California OneCare are advocating the bill that would be signed by the next Democratic California governor.

There is still hope. 2010 is a new year and the current California governor, Schwarzenegger has jsut rejected health care reform (obviously the Senate bill) because it would NOT relieve his state from the health expenditures. Hmmm...

Here is a list of just some of the bills Schwarzenegger has vetoed:

---

SB 840 (Kuehl) SINGLE PAYER

• Would establish a process to create a single-payer health care system in California that would enable all residents to have health coverage.

SB 973 (Simitian) PUBLIC INSURER

• Would create a statewide public insurer, connecting existing regional, county-based health care plans, to compete with private health care plans and provide consumers more affordable coverage choices.

SB 1440 (Kuehl) CAPPING ADMINISTRATION AND PROFIT

• Would set a minimum medical loss ratio — requiring every insurer to spend at least 85 percent of premiums on patient care.

AB 2 (Dymally) HIGH-RISK POOL

• Would have reformed the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Program (MRMIP), which provides coverage for “un-insureables” who have “pre-existing conditions.” Efforts would make the high risk pool more affordable and available and eliminate the annual $75,000 cap on benefits.

AB 1945 (De La Torre) INDEPENDENT REVIEW

• Would establish an independent review process if an insurer wants to rescind coverage, and raises the standard in existing law so that coverage can only be rescinded if a consumer willfully misrepresents his health history.

AB 1887 (Beall) MENTAL HEALTH PARITY

• Would require health plans to provide coverage for all diagnosable mental illnesses.

AB 1962 (De La Torre) MATERNITY COVERAGE

• Would require all individual insurance policies to cover maternity services.

Each one of them would have saved billions of dollars and thus provided a balanced budget, today. But let's focus on one specific bill: SB 810. It is the successor of SB 840 and would establish a single payer health care system in California. We are very likely going to have a Democratic governor in 2010 and as other Democratic candidates have opted-out of the race, it is certain that Democratic candidate Jerry Brown is going to win the election. He is going to sign the bill or he has to come up with a serious excuse to his party, the legislation and the people. And let me say this: There is no excuse.

Fact sheet to SB 810: http://www.healthcareforall.org/documents/factsheet.pdf

We are part of an experiment that makes me sick! How is it possible that premiums just 10 years ago were at levels equal to those in European single payer health care systems, but today, they are skyrocketing? The answer: Private insurers abuse their important role as health care providers to earn money. We are part of an experiment of how far they can raise the premiums.

The ONLY way out is completely government-run health care.NO to a two-tier health care system. I used to live in Germany and the two-tier system has created a two-class system. People covered under government-run health care have to wait twice as long than people under private insurance because the private money provides additional money for doctors so that they prefer private insurance over public health care. It can't be possible that a person under public health care has to wait more than another person.

We don't have a fully privatized prison system, we don't have a fully privatized military, we don't have a fully privatized school system, so WHY the hell do we have to suffer under a FULLY privatized health care system? In addition to that private schools, prisons, and paramilitary have failed and largely depend on government assistance.

This has nothing to do with pursuit of happiness.
"When Jefferson spoke of pursuing happiness, he had nothing vague or private in mind. He meant a public happiness which is measurable; which is, indeed, the test and justification of any government."
The Human Development Index (short HDI) shows that the highest ranking nations are indeed social welfare states with a government-run universal health care system.

Everyone! almost everyone has betrayed health care reform except a view true souls in the House and outside of Congress. One of them is former Vermont governor Howard Dean who refuses to give up and demands reconciliation rather than slavery. Because it is a fact that this bill is going to force people to buy insrance that they could never afford!

Anger is in me when Huffington Post puts my most thoughtful comments to its index aka "Pending Comments." I think a real liberal news blog should never do something like that. Free speech should be valued and I don't see the point that HuffPost censors comments that do not harm anyone!

So I created this blog to post my most thoughtful comments in case HuffPost puts them on its index. Despite that, I really really appreciate teh existence of the liberal news blog in the United States as most media is very biased to gain the majority of the audience which tends to conservative.
