CA: Newsom Inks Backroom Deal With Kaiser for Statewide Medi-Cal Health

CA Globe: Only days after California’s proposed Single Payer state-controlled health care bill failed to even get to a vote on the Assembly floor last week, a medical industry news website announced “California inks sweetheart deal with Kaiser Permanente, jeopardizing Medicaid reforms.”

So while many heaved a sigh of relief that private health care was saved in the state, a few select Newsom advisors were meeting behind closed doors, away from elected lawmakers, to ink a similar deal. No wonder Newsom wasn’t hammering the Legislature to pass the state-controlled health care bill Assembly Bill 1400.

Kaiser Permanente “has given nearly $100 million in charitable funding and grant money to boost Newsom’s efforts against homelessness, COVID response, and wildfire relief since 2019,” according to Modern Healthcare. more here

  1. Politicians are a special kind of evil
    They should have their own circle in Hell

    Nothing ever happens to them no matter what they do.
    They just throw a few crumbs to the peasantry once in awhile
    To keep them in line until the next election.

    Until people get so disgusted to vote them out nothing will change

    God damn. Must be nice to have that kind of cash to piss away. How many patients did they have to overcharge to get that kind of politician bait?

    Please re-read Dante; particularly the fifth ditch of Circle Eight.
    If you find Dante heavy going, please try Jerry Pournelle’s Inferno, a somewhat lighter version written as a more up-to-date sci-fi novel
