Health care in the country continues to be a huge topic of concern.
Even though there are those in Congress that embrace the idea of universal health care, state and local democrats can’t wait any longer and are moving forward with plans.
“Premiums are going up, deductibles are getting higher, people are feeling stress and anxiety about what’s happening or not happening federally,” said Gov. Gavin Newsom of California.
Newsom’s ideal situation would be to create a single-payer system in the state.
“You look around the rest of the world, they’re just rolling their eyes, higher life expectancy,” Gov. Newsom said. “This is ludicrous, and so it’s incumbent upon governors, mayors to take the lead, in the absence of the federal government doing its job.”
