California’s universal health plan proposal

Physicians aren’t going to be happy with the 2 percent fee/tax physicians are going to have to pay. KipEquire with more:

Apparently Schwarzenegger is borrowing a page from the Michael Bloomberg book and hoping that living in California is so irresistible (i.e., that demand is so inelastic) that physicians, nurses and other health care professionals won’t simply pack up and leave the state, no matter how impossible the health care socialists make it to function there. Recent evidence suggests otherwise.

It is true that Schwarzenegger’s proposal would increase reimbursement rates under California’s existing plan, MediCal. But that can never offset the lunacy of the underlying concept: tax the people providing what you claim to want more of.
