A $400 billion proposal to create a universal healthcare plan for all Californians is pitting state Democratic leaders against each other in an acrimonious fight that has even spurred death threats.
California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon last week shelved the plan, which the state Senate passed earlier this year. Rendon said the lack of a funding mechanism in the bill meant the package amounted to a shell, without the ability to actually deliver the care and coverage it promises.
“There was really no there, there. It was a statement of principles, a list of values, a lot of values that I share, but it certainly wasn’t a bill,” Rendon told The Hill. “There was absolutely no funding attached to a $400 billion proposal, no service delivery mechanism.”
The bill is not technically dead: California legislators work in two-year sessions, meaning the measure could come back to life when legislators meet in January.
But some supporters of the universal health care measure, led by the California Nurses Association, said Rendon was bowing to big industry groups that contribute to state Democrats’ political action committees.
