Socialized medicine proposition

Senate Bill 5747 proposes health care financing be controlled by the state.  If this Obamacare type insurance scam is enacted, it pretty much means Washington State will have the highest taxes in the US. and poorest medical care.  A lot of the language is similar to Obamacare, such as "[SB5747 will] generate savings sufficient to ensure coverage for all Washington  residents." Not likely.

Anyway, there will be a hearing on 01/18/2018 at 10:00AM, at the J.A. Cherberg Building, Senate Hearing Rm 2, Olympia, WA.  The notice for this hearing was time stamped Wednesday, January 17, 2018 4:18 PM. Such short notice makes it pretty clear the legislature thinks this such a bad idea, they had to rush to ram it down our throats.

Effing the ineffable - Washington State elections sometimes have been rigged.
