I agree with you that California should be more progressive when it comes to wealth redistribution and housing policy

it also spends way less on education than it should.

In 2015-16, California ranked 41st among all states in spending per K-12 student after adjusting for differences in the cost of living in each state (see table below).[2]  California schools spent $10,291 per K-12 student in 2015-16, which is about $1,900 less than the $12,252 per student spent by the nation as a whole.[3]  California’s spending per student in 2015-16 was about $2,000 higher than it had been in 2012-13, at which point California ranked 50th in the nation.

That means that over the next decade, the U.S. is projected to spend more than $33 trillion, plus inflation, on health care services without any changes to our current health care system, significantly more than Mercatus’s estimated $32.6 trillion cost to the federal government over the next ten years.

 :D

Nevermind nobody wants to be on shitty medicaid or take patients on shitty medicaid.

If I said you could have a brand new f150 for $33k or a used dodge neon for $32.6k, you'd take the neon, right?

Conflating government and private spending on healthcare as if they are one and the same is very lol. Almost as lol as conflating the quality of govt and privately provided healthcare.

Not sure if you knew this FSD but Trump just authorized a ton of government healthcare spending not very long ago.
