Governor Schwarzenegger is calling a special session of the state legislature to address a $6billion deficit with the goal of saving his state nearly $10billion dollars over the next 2 years.
And what will does he want to cut? Health and welfare services to millions of Californians. Arnold’s big plan is to limit doctor visits to 10/year and put a lid on prescriptions to citizens who are part of Medi-Cal, the state welfare service.
Rationing is beginning in the state with the 8th largest budget in the entire world and the largest illegal immigrant population (2.2million), in the United States. At the cost of 2.2million illegals, the bona fide citizens of California will lose their benefits and their entitlements.
In a state with 3 large sanctuary cities – San Francisco, Los Angles and San Diego – most of them simply won’t mind giving up what they’ve been voting for themselves for years.

[…] people in the state illegally — cutting off taxpayer-funded state government goodies and costly welfare programs to these illegals would take a big chunk out of California’s out-of-control […]

10 visits per year to the doctor? I hope there is room for redress of this issue for those who need more visits. Just for checking annually, I need 7 checkups.
The prescription alternation seems fair. Coverage will not be altered just redirected. It will cost the state more to monitor this and the area above.
Sad. Even in the land of dreams, there are no more happy endings.
