California Democrats Propose Sharp Payroll Tax Raise, Want Government to Take Over Health System

SAN DIEGO (CUCI) – Democrats in the California Legislature introduced Assembly Bill 1400 last week to introduce a public universal health care system in the state. The proposal would ban all private insurance in California and instead enroll every resident in a state program called “CalCare.”

Critics, including Reform California chairman Carl DeMaio, say the proposal would increase costs and reduce the quality of care.

DeMaio explained his opposition to AB 1400 on KUSI’s Good Morning San Diego program.
