Day Six

My lovely Rose took me to the ball game yesterday. We took the train. I am astonished how under-knowledge and not caring people are commuting. We should electrify the CalTrain and leave high speed rail (HSR) out of it. Fact: we build HSR down the CalTrain line it will mean short term jobs but the cost will be completely disrupted CalTrain service for many years. If we electrify CalTrain it is far cheaper and far less disruptive and gets to the same ends.

As far as health care insurance, soon I will start an initiative drive to putting something on a future ballot. Timing has to be right so there is no waste of time, the initiative has to be filed and so forth. I know I have asked for monetary help, and maybe it is too early for that. So I could use some volunteers for this effort as millions of signatures are needed.

The goal will be California Care in the form of universal health care insurance. We know the facts, they are indisputable, we know the outcomes they are indisputable, the rationale of the initiative then is carved out of these facts and outcomes as seen in Massachusetts.

Lets get 7 million people insured, healthy, and ready to work. Lets get 12 million more with sustainable costs involved with healthcare insurance. To do nothing and hide ones head in the sand gets nothing and lest I remind all Californians, we are almost dead least in every economic sector, and the divisions between rich and poor are ever widening. We can put a stop to all that, become the 8th economic powerhouse we once were; it can start as Massachusetts did, and begin with reigning in the costs of healthcare insurance.
