The idea that a democratic governor with a democratic super-majority legislature can't push through a bill that they promised during a campaign is laughable, and an example of why democrats bleed young and working class support. We need keep our promises, do big things and deliver for people.

During the last century, California policy makers tried multiple approaches to achieve the goal of affordable health coverage for all: employer and individual requirements, single payer, and hybrids.

All failed, primarily because of the amount of financing needed to cover the large numbers of uninsured Californians and the supermajority vote requirements for tax increases. Wishful thinking is nice, but the actuality is a lot harder to complete.
