Proposition 52 claims it will provide “Additional federal health care money AT NO COST TO TAXPAYERS”.    SOUNDS GREAT!!!!    Question: Whose dollars will be used?

Allow me to refer you to my 10/14/2016 post entitled “WHY HILLARY & DONALD ?”. This post explores the difference between rational thought versus rationalization.

The money to fund Prop 52 will be acquired by maintaining an existing statute imposing fees (taxes) on hospitals to fund Medi-Cal health care services for uninsured patients and children. A charming (and ultimately intelligent and necessary) way to redistribute wealth.

Hospitals are businesses. Businesses are comprised of individual people (taxpayers). When businesses are taxed, taxpayers are taxed. These include employees like nurses, doctors, orderlies, administrators and others paid via hospital profits. Simple.

To claim taxpayers don’t, again, ultimately foot the bill is not only rationalizing, it is an outright lie.

I think Howard Jarvis would be disappointed in the way his foundation is not promoting this worthy proposition solely on its merits, but by way of a ruse.

I won’t vote no, but personal honor leaves me refusing to vote at all on 52 simply because it is tainted and I don’t like being duped. Honesty matters.
