UnitedHealth recently helped kill single-payer health care legislation in California.

Gov. Gavin Newsom backed off his previous support of the idea -- after he & Dems received huge money from UnitedHealth donors. https://buff.ly/3ZPLOPu

Newsom’s Big Choice: Single Payer Or His Insurance Donors?

California’s governor is caught between his campaign pledge and the health care companies that bankroll him.

Let me make sure i got this.
California voters voted for high speed rail, his first action as governor was to kill it.
California voters want and could have had single payer but he used his influence as governor to kill it.
California voters like Rep Porter but he used his influence as governor and tech bro money to get Schiff as Senator.

My friends and family don't understand why I hate him. Saw this 20-25 yrs ago.

But sure, he's handsome 🙄
