Single Payer Is Fool's Gold For California
California politicians have become only the latest to drink the single-payer health care Kool-Aid. Maybe they should look at the U.S. one real experience with single-payer, the VA hospital system, like the one above in Phoenix, Ariz., which has led to substandard care, long waits for badly needed care and even death for hundreds of veteran patients.

While the latest Republican attempt to repeal and replace ObamaCare may have failed, Democrats in California and in D.C. are just getting started in their effort to eliminate the health law.
Unfortunately, they're angling to replace ObamaCare with something even worse.
In California, State Senators Ricardo Lara and Toni Atkins introduced the details of the "The Healthy California Act," on March 30 which would create a "single-payer health care coverage program and a health care cost control system." And they're considering using the flexibility afforded by ObamaCare's "state innovation waivers" to enact this vision.
