Welcome to California

Mark Steyn skews California and its governor....

"And, if becoming a charge of the state is the issue, then Gov. Schwarzenegger is a complete squish on California’s real health crisis. His state’s emergency rooms have been reduced to Quebec-level waiting times because of the strains of providing free health care to the legions of the undocumented. One third of the patients in Los Angeles County hospitals are illegal immigrants, and they’ve overwhelmed the system: dozens of emergency rooms in the state have closed this decade after degenerating into an unfunded de facto Mexican health care network. If you’re a legal resident of California, your health system is worse than it was a decade ago and will be worse still in a decade’s time."

Not to worry, Governor, federal funds (our taxes) will bail you out.
