California Democrats Want A Takeover of the State Health-Care System

Contact Your Elected Officials

Would you put the DMV in charge of your health care? Or how about California’s Employment Development Office, which during the worst months of the pandemic lost $20 billion to fraud, while denying benefits to millions suffering from losing their jobs?

That is what Sacramento Democrats want to do with the state’s health-care system. Assembly Bill 1400 is sponsored by Assemblyman Ash Kalra, D-San Jose. It’s called single-payer universal health care. “Single-Payer” means the state government takes over the whole shebang.

ACA 11 is the proposed amendment that would hike several key taxes to fund a state-level government healthcare scheme (AB 1400 or CalCare). According to the Tax Foundation, it would increase the average household’s taxes by an astonishing $12,250.

CA Universal Health Care Bill Spurs Debate Over High Cost

A universal healthcare bill advanced in the Assembly, but an attached amendment to raise taxes by $163 billion may be a nonstarter.

SACRAMENTO, CA — California could become the first state in the nation to enact universal healthcare coverage, but opponents are already questioning how that will be paid for.

On Jan. 6, a group of Democratic lawmakers in the State Assembly unveiled a bill to provide healthcare to every resident of the country’s most populous state, including undocumented immigrants, financed by several new taxes on individuals and businesses. On Jan. 11, Assembly Bill 1400, authored by San Jose Assemblymember Ash Kalra, cleared the Assembly Health Committee. To proceed further, the bill must clear the Assembly by Jan. 31, after which point it will be sent to the Senate.

AB 1400 would create a new entity called CalCare, a system governed by an independent board of directors promising access to any doctor and a wide array of medical services. The plan would negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, push to bring payments to providers closer to the cost of care, and include coverage for long-term care and other health services for seniors and people with disabilities.

To pay for the multi-billion-dollar proposal, Democrats have introduced a separate constitutional amendment that would raise taxes on businesses and individuals by about $163 billion a year, according to an analysis by the California Taxpayers Association, which opposes the bill.

The proposed constitutional amendment – which would need to pass a supermajority vote in the state Senate and Assembly, then need to be ratified by voters – would raise taxes in a number of different ways. First, it would raise income taxes on people and businesses earning more than $149,509 a year, and introduce an additional payroll tax for employers with workers earning more than $49,900. Businesses or individuals reporting a taxable income of more than $2.5 million would pay an additional 2.3% gross receipts tax on income over $2.5 million. According to an analysis from the Tax Foundation, a nonprofit generally in favor of lower taxes, calculated that the amendment would increase taxes by $12,250 per household.

The amendment faces stiff opposition. Business groups, led by the California Chamber of Commerce, have argued that the new taxes will result in a mass exodus from a state already known for its high taxes. The Chamber of Commerce also claimed that the tax hike would not cover the costs of CalCare.

“The taxes also go onto businesses and what happens there is they pass them onto consumers,” said Assemblymember Kevin Kiley, a Republican from the Sacramento area who ran against Newsom in the 2021 recall election. “That’s already one of the big problems with California is that taxes on businesses and regulations on businesses are so high that it makes everything so expensive.”
