Health care does cost money, so does roads, schools, public infrastructure of any kind.

It is the obligation of the whole society to help its members, this is not a new or a revolutionary concept.

You, as a member of said society, pay for all these things through your taxes.

The issue is how much of those taxes are allocated and managed properly.

California might be having problems because of management, but not because of the idea of the service.

You are saying "we should not do X, because we suck at managing it", instead of figuring out a way to
do things properly.

There will always be waste in any public programs, but that is expected, as my Public Accounting professor used
to say: "If the goverment is not losing money providing public services, something is seriously wrong"
