Health care does cost money, so does roads, schools, public infrastructure of an
y 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 th
e 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 P
ublic Accounting professor used
to say: "If the goverment is not losing money providing public services, somethi
ng is seriously wrong"
