California Cosiders State Health Insurance

California is toying with the idea of a state run health insurance plan, based on income. READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT CALIFORNIA'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROPOSAL

I have a simpler idea.

I think the government should offer a catastrophic plan to citizens. It might be modeled after Medicare Part A, the "hospital" coverage plan given to senior citizens and some disabled people.

I don't know how it will be funded though. Again, perhaps it should be funded with premiums based on income - or maybe a big bake sale (LOL).

I don't even know how Medicare Part D (RX plan for seniors) will get funded. Do You?
