Why is this such a mystery to everone In California..NONE of the problems here WILL EVER be corrected, until we STOP LETTING HUGE CORPS IMPORT SLAVE LABOR for the LOW PAYING JOBS, and lay the price of Insurance and benefits ON THE TAXPAYER via WELFARE and MEDICAL, and EXPORTING the HIGH PAYING JOBS OVERSEAS.

P.S. the only qualification for FREE... Read More HEALTHCARE, FOOD and RENT in CALIFORNIA is to come here ILLEGALLY. WAKE UP.. EVERYONE HAS BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS, THIS IS "GOING TO BANKRUPT AND RUIN THE STATE" GUESS WHAT... IT ALREADY HAS. CALIFORNIA IS F(*KED...

This is off topic but there is a child Sean who is abducted in Brazil. The father is David, they know the child's location and the government won't comply with our treaty to return the child. The link and publicity is on Dr. Phil's site. Please help this child.
Gavin Newsom

Gavin Newsom Update: We had an amazing day yesterday and now we're in sight of a goal we never thought possible so early in the campaign – $1 million raised online! We're only $2,459 short of $1 million raised online. Please help us meet this amazing goal by giving $10, $25 or whatever you can - just follow this link http://tr.im/qde6.

Fascinating how some people like to ramble on about how taking care of people (like most civilized countries do) and being good stewards of the planet is "socialism" and "big government." Are they not mentally capable of understanding the REAL problems this nation faces? California has always been a progressive force in this country, and time and... Read More time again, the rest of the country has followed suit with California. I'm proud to live in a State where people seem to "get it" first, and it will be my pleasure to vote for a candidate who "gets it" and will lead not only the Golden State, but in many ways the country.

I love how the right tries to accuse the left of being all for big government when right-wing nutjobs like George W. Bush expanded government EXPONENTIALLY.

Gavin Newsom Front page SAC Bee story this morning about SF's universal health care program is a great reminder of why we need change in Sacramento - to stop talking about problems and start solving them.

Help us get over the top - click http://tr.im/qbQQ and donate $25 today.

Beggars? Is that what the Mayor and his groupies refer to the needy as. Steve I am grieved you would be treated that way, you should have been treated respectfully. If you were not then you should have gone to that person's supervisor. If that does not work, feed back positive and negative should be welcomed by the Mayor's office and I'd include that person's name. I am not in SF but have had to use Healthy Families, etc. and never was treated like a criminal for being in a bad place.

Patricia: "Quality"? Not quite. If you're over 21, the only dental care covered is extractions. How does that count as "quality"? In you're incarcerated in the state of California, you receive better dental and medical than you do if you're a law abiding citizen who simply can't afford private insurance. Yup, that's some high "quality" care.

Our experience in San Francisco is proving what most Americans already know -- it is much less expensive to keep people well than it is to treat their sickness.

Oh, and once you put something in the trash, anyone has the right to go thru it...this is nothing new. It becomes public once in the trashcan. There was a Supreme Court case on this a long time ago. So, to the commenter that made the remark about City inspectors now having the right to go through the trash, basically anyone has this right, once you put garbage in a can on the street.
