June 7, 2007SB 48 (Perata) Socialized Health Care
On June 7, 2007 the Senate passed SB 48 that establishes universal mandatory health insurance. This is what Senator McClintock said in opposition to the measure: Mr. President: This measure imposes a "pay or play" mandate on businesses – spend 7˝ percent of your payroll on health care, or pay the state to do so. One little problem – the courts have already ruled that such "pay or play" mechanisms were pre-empted by Congress when it enacted ERISA. So the central feature of this bill is already moot.
