A nice feel good story for today:
Armed home intruder beats on elderly dad. But son also has a gun—and ends attack with lethal force.
Some healthcare stuff, hmm:
Rep. Justin Amash has a suggestion for liberals who want single-payer health care
"In 2014, under the leadership of then-Gov. Peter Shumlin (D), Vermont was set to be the foremost example for the entire nation on the passage and implementation of a single-payer system.
Shumlin was forced to turn his back on the system when he had to admit that the state couldn’t afford it. After consideration, Shumlin concluded that the necessary 11.5 percent payroll tax increase on businesses and the rising of premium costs to 9.5 percent of individual’s paychecks “might hurt [Vermont’s] economy.”
California is taking its turn in attempting to implement a single-payer system. Called the Healthy California Act, this bill would replace California’s existing health care market with a publicly funded system. According to the California Senate Appropriations Committee, the act would cost $400 billion — which is more than the state’s entire annual budget.
The California Chamber of Commerce called the Healthy California Act a “job killer” and said that “it will cost employers and taxpayers billions of dollars and result in significant loss of jobs in the state.”
Well that all just seems like it has the potential to end badly.
