Gov. Gavin Newsom was a darling of the city's business community, steered the city through massive deficits to balanced budgets, had good relationships with police and was viewed by the city's progressive faction as a moderate politician -- even conservative, by San Francisco standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as Newsom runs to succeed Gov. Jerry Brown, he's walking a fine line: Trying to convince more moderate voters that he would continue the fiscal discipline Brown has championed and also be able to enact a litany of ambitious progressive policies, including single-payer health care, universal preschool, truly tackling housing and homelessness, and investing more in higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is the apparent front-runner in a crowded field for governor and appears poised to easily claim the top position in the June 5 primary, guaranteeing him a spot in the November runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican businessman John Cox and Democratic former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa are vying for second place. Recent polls show Cox ahead, but Newsom sees Villaraigosa as a bigger threat, given Republicans' dismal registration numbers in California and the fact that Villaraigosa has positioned himself to the right of Newsom in this race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as Newsom makes his final case to voters on a 30-city bus tour ahead of Tuesday's primary, he is also laying the groundwork for a general election run, where he'll be looking to appeal to a wider swath of voters than just liberal Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the conflict between his policy proposals and the governor's responsibility to balance the state budget, Newsom pointed toward his tenure as San Francisco mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said no more than I said yes ... we made investments but I also made a lot of cuts, and those were challenging,\" he said, noting it is likely the next governor will face an economic downturn. \"I have no interest in going back to the old ways. I'm not a profligate Democrat. I have bold ideas. I want to be audacious in terms of the goals but I'm not reckless in that context. ... I really do think Gov. Brown has created a new norm of expectation in terms of fiscal discipline. And it's incumbent upon the next governor, I think, to model that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But perhaps nowhere is Newsom's conundrum more evident than around the issue of health care. It's an area that Newsom -- who prides himself on his wonky knowledge of details -- has studied deeply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it could also pose big political problems: On the one hand, he's promised to support single-payer health care, a key issue for populist Democrats, including the powerful California Nurses Association; on the other hand, estimates of the program's cost run up to $400 billion a year, more than double the state's annual budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to mention the political problem of deconstructing an entrenched health care system, and the reality of needing federal support at a time when California is locked in all-out legal warfare with the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I will be very thoughtful about how we deal with the issue. But I would argue what is reckless is doing nothing. Health care is devouring the state budget. Health care is in crisis in this country,\" he said, citing estimates that Republican tweaks to Obamacare could result in 30 percent premium increases next year alone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom noted that he won't have the power to overhaul California's health care system alone -- it would require the buy-in of the federal government, as well as a host of changes to state and federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My emphasis here is trying to bring everybody to the table and address this issue head-on -- and try to address this cost curve which is devouring the budget,\" he said. \"This issue requires the executive branch ... to shape that conversation anew and phrase the conversation differently.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom made the comments over the course of a 90-minute bus ride Tuesday with a handful of reporters. During that wide-ranging conversation, the lieutenant governor vacillated between praising Jerry Brown (he called it a \"gift\" to work in the Capitol and learn from Brown over the past seven years) but also seeking to put some daylight between himself and the man he hopes to succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's been very stubborn in two areas where I'm going to be a little more indulgent: Higher education and workforce development, and early childhood education -- I just think those two areas we must do more and do better,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also pledged to \"be a lot more intentional on the housing and homeless issue, which is not just about more resources but resourcefulness. There's a lot of money being spent in those areas ... (that's) not always been best spent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom fell back on an old political trope, promising to help pay for many of these new or expanded programs by growing the economy and by using existing resources more creatively and efficiently. But when pressed, he acknowledged that none of his big goals could be accomplished quickly. He said some of them, like health care, would be part of the annual budget conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Newsom said that when it comes to approach, he will govern differently than Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm going to pull a lot more things into the governor's office and not just see them fester in the Legislature,\" Newsom said, alluding to the governor's practice of refraining from weighing in on most legislation until it reaches his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I get the wisdom of why the governor does that -- I mean politically, it's very shrewd -- it allows you to pivot, it allows you more room. But there are certain issues that I think require the governor's office to be more and more proactive on the front end, as opposed to engaged on the back end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that way, Newsom said he would model himself more on another California politician named Brown, who preceded Newsom as San Francisco mayor and is famous for his ability to make seemingly impossible deals happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Perhaps that's a contour of stylistic difference, and maybe it's more in line with where Willie Brown would find himself, rather than Jerry,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Lieutenant governor is trying to convince more moderate voters that he would continue fiscal discipline Jerry Brown has championed and also be able to enact a litany of ambitious progressive policies.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1527729226,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":24,"wordCount":1053},"headData":{"title":"Gavin Newsom Walks Fine Line Between Progressive and Pragmatist in Governor's Race | KQED","description":"Lieutenant governor is trying to convince more moderate voters that he would continue fiscal discipline Jerry Brown has championed and also be able to enact a litany of ambitious progressive policies.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Gavin Newsom Walks Fine Line Between Progressive and Pragmatist in Governor's Race","datePublished":"2018-05-31T00:34:55.000Z","dateModified":"2018-05-31T01:13:46.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"11671486 https://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11671486","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/05/30/gavin-newsom-walks-fine-line-between-progressive-and-pragmatist-in-governors-race/","disqusTitle":"Gavin Newsom Walks Fine Line Between Progressive and Pragmatist in Governor's Race","path":"/news/11671486/gavin-newsom-walks-fine-line-between-progressive-and-pragmatist-in-governors-race","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>As mayor of San Francisco, Lt.

Jerry Brown, he's walking a fine line: Trying to convince more moderate voters that he would continue the fiscal discipline Brown has championed and also be able to enact a litany of ambitious progressive policies, including single-payer health care, universal preschool, truly tackling housing and homelessness, and investing more in higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom is the apparent front-runner in a crowded field for governor and appears poised to easily claim the top position in the June 5 primary, guaranteeing him a spot in the November runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican businessman John Cox and Democratic former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa are vying for second place. Recent polls show Cox ahead, but Newsom sees Villaraigosa as a bigger threat, given Republicans' dismal registration numbers in California and the fact that Villaraigosa has positioned himself to the right of Newsom in this race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as Newsom makes his final case to voters on a 30-city bus tour ahead of Tuesday's primary, he is also laying the groundwork for a general election run, where he'll be looking to appeal to a wider swath of voters than just liberal Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the conflict between his policy proposals and the governor's responsibility to balance the state budget, Newsom pointed toward his tenure as San Francisco mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said no more than I said yes ... we made investments but I also made a lot of cuts, and those were challenging,\" he said, noting it is likely the next governor will face an economic downturn. \"I have no interest in going back to the old ways. I'm not a profligate Democrat. I have bold ideas. I want to be audacious in terms of the goals but I'm not reckless in that context. ... I really do think Gov. Brown has created a new norm of expectation in terms of fiscal discipline. And it's incumbent upon the next governor, I think, to model that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But perhaps nowhere is Newsom's conundrum more evident than around the issue of health care. It's an area that Newsom -- who prides himself on his wonky knowledge of details -- has studied deeply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it could also pose big political problems: On the one hand, he's promised to support single-payer health care, a key issue for populist Democrats, including the powerful California Nurses Association; on the other hand, estimates of the program's cost run up to $400 billion a year, more than double the state's annual budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to mention the political problem of deconstructing an entrenched health care system, and the reality of needing federal support at a time when California is locked in all-out legal warfare with the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I will be very thoughtful about how we deal with the issue. But I would argue what is reckless is doing nothing. Health care is devouring the state budget. Health care is in crisis in this country,\" he said, citing estimates that Republican tweaks to Obamacare could result in 30 percent premium increases next year alone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom noted that he won't have the power to overhaul California's health care system alone -- it would require the buy-in of the federal government, as well as a host of changes to state and federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My emphasis here is trying to bring everybody to the table and address this issue head-on -- and try to address this cost curve which is devouring the budget,\" he said. \"This issue requires the executive branch ... to shape that conversation anew and phrase the conversation differently.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom made the comments over the course of a 90-minute bus ride Tuesday with a handful of reporters. During that wide-ranging conversation, the lieutenant governor vacillated between praising Jerry Brown (he called it a \"gift\" to work in the Capitol and learn from Brown over the past seven years) but also seeking to put some daylight between himself and the man he hopes to succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's been very stubborn in two areas where I'm going to be a little more indulgent: Higher education and workforce development, and early childhood education -- I just think those two areas we must do more and do better,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also pledged to \"be a lot more intentional on the housing and homeless issue, which is not just about more resources but resourcefulness. There's a lot of money being spent in those areas ... (that's) not always been best spent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom fell back on an old political trope, promising to help pay for many of these new or expanded programs by growing the economy and by using existing resources more creatively and efficiently. But when pressed, he acknowledged that none of his big goals could be accomplished quickly. He said some of them, like health care, would be part of the annual budget conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Newsom said that when it comes to approach, he will govern differently than Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm going to pull a lot more things into the governor's office and not just see them fester in the Legislature,\" Newsom said, alluding to the governor's practice of refraining from weighing in on most legislation until it reaches his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I get the wisdom of why the governor does that -- I mean politically, it's very shrewd -- it allows you to pivot, it allows you more room. But there are certain issues that I think require the governor's office to be more and more proactive on the front end, as opposed to engaged on the back end.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that way, Newsom said he would model himself more on another California politician named Brown, who preceded Newsom as San Francisco mayor and is famous for his ability to make seemingly impossible deals happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Perhaps that's a contour of stylistic difference, and maybe it's more in line with where Willie Brown would find himself, rather than Jerry,\" Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11671486/gavin-newsom-walks-fine-line-between-progressive-and-pragmatist-in-governors-race","authors":["3239"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_20191","news_16","news_23202","news_22597","news_17041"],"featImg":"news_11671496","label":"news_72"},"news_11655673":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11655673","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11655673","score":null,"sort":[1521056058000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"lawmakers-recommend-small-steps-on-health-care-no-single-payer-yet","title":"Lawmakers Recommend Small Steps on Health Care, No Single-Payer Yet","publishDate":1521056058,"format":"audio","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Key California lawmakers working on health care reform on Tuesday embraced an incremental approach to broadening access and lowering costs as they released a report that says it would take years to pull off a more radical move to government-backed universal health coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://healthcare.assembly.ca.gov/sites/healthcare.assembly.ca.gov/files/Report%20Final%203_13_18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> by three independent consultants built on 30 hours of testimony to the Assembly Select Committee on Health Care Delivery Systems and Universal Coverage between October and February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's about \"a short-term approach and a long-term vision,\" said committee co-chair Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula (D-Delano).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We put our heart and soul into this,\" said Assemblyman Jim Wood (D- Healdsburg), the other panel co-chair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While acknowledging their strategy is more \"methodical\" than many activists want, Wood was not apologetic about backing a step-by-step approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even one small tweak to the system could have huge ramifications to another part of the system,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Short-Term Ideas\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Arguing that it would take several years and a lot of heavy political lifting at the state and federal levels to move to a so-called single-payer health care system, the report recommends taking a series of short-term steps to improve coverage, affordability and access while simultaneously studying how to get to universal coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the key proposals:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Expand Medi-Cal to all eligible adults who are in the U.S. illegally.

But the nurses union leapt into the governor’s race as one of the first labor unions to endorse Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom. Single-payer has emerged as one of few issues on which the Democratic \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2017/10/22/single-payer-is-lone-contrast-in-first-meeting-of-democratic-gubernatorial-candidates/\">candidates disagree\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and Delaine Eastin, the former state superintendent of schools, have both said they \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article174827261.html\">support the nurses’ single-payer bill\u003c/a>. Fellow Democrats Antonio Villaraigosa, former mayor of Los Angeles, and John Chiang, the state treasurer, say they want to expand health care so that everyone is covered, but not necessarily with the single-payer model that would abolish private health insurers and replace them with a government-run system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of medical groups is lobbying against the single-payer bill, arguing that it makes more sense to protect and expand the federal Affordable Care Act, which has increased the number of Californians who have health insurance. Some members of the coalition have a history of spending big money to sway California elections. One of them, the doctors association, donated to Newsom before he voiced support for single-payer; it’s not yet clear if they will shift support to another candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"DV8tS2sJT93TWXubLjjIDaylKLJdvynI\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost two-thirds of Californians like the idea of a statewide single-payer health care system, although enthusiasm drops significantly if it would require raising taxes, according to polling last year by the Public Policy Institute of California.

For one, the state would need permission from the federal government—and perhaps an act of Congress—to shift billions of dollars from Medi-Cal and Medi-Care into a state-run single-payer plan. For another, if lawmakers raised taxes to fund single-payer, voters would likely have to approve changes to the California Constitution to allow the money to go to health care instead of schools.

An effort by activists to recall Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon for shelving the bill has gone dormant. And an initiative that would lay the financial groundwork for a future single-payer system has little funding, undercutting its chances to qualify for the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even if single payer is a lost cause in the short term, advocates are playing a long game.

It’s been discussed in virtually every forum with the candidates running for governor, emerged as a point of contention in some legislative races, and will likely be a rallying cry at the upcoming California Democratic Party convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This issue is not going away,” said Garry South, a Democratic political consultant who has worked with the California Nurses Association, which sponsored the stalled \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB562\">single-payer bill\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The progressive elements who are supportive of the single-payer concept know that it’s not going to happen now, it’s not going to happen tomorrow. It’s a long-term process and Jerry Brown is gone as of January 2019.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor has not had to stake a position on the bill because it skidded to a stop in the Assembly last summer without reaching his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But state Sen. Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat who co-authored Senate Bill 562, said Brown was not receptive. Analyses peg the cost of a statewide single-payer system at between $330 billion and $400 billion -- far exceeding the state’s entire budget. That made it an anathema to Brown’s record of prioritizing fiscal stability for state government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the governor saw that we introduced that bill... all he could look at me and do is shake his head and say, ‘$400 billion dollars.’ And I kept trying to say, ‘Can we back up and talk about what you've got to do to get (there)?’\" Atkins said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He wasn’t letting it go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atkins, who will take over as Senate leader next month, said she’s not giving up on the goal of single-payer but does not expect it to happen this year. “People are polarized on this issue in a way that’s not good for coming together to get it done,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Led by the nurses association -- a labor union that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/union-boss-roseann-demoro-doesnt-play-nice/\">embraces firebrand activism\u003c/a> -- supporters of single-payer have targeted Rendon after he shelved the bill last summer, saying it lacked critical information on how to pay for a massive overhaul of the healthcare system. They peppered social media with images that not only portrayed the bill fight as a boxing match between Rendon and the nurses, but also depicted a knife labeled “Rendon” back-stabbing the bear symbol of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11650545\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/SinglePayerInfograph-800x1875.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1875\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/SinglePayerInfograph.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/SinglePayerInfograph-160x375.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/SinglePayerInfograph-240x563.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/SinglePayerInfograph-375x879.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/SinglePayerInfograph-520x1219.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nurses were not involved in the campaign to recall Rendon, said recall organizer Stephen Elzie, who has since dropped the effort and is now helping Democrat Maria Estrada challenge Rendon’s re-election bid. But the nurses union leapt into the governor’s race as one of the first labor unions to endorse Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom. Single-payer has emerged as one of few issues on which the Democratic \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2017/10/22/single-payer-is-lone-contrast-in-first-meeting-of-democratic-gubernatorial-candidates/\">candidates disagree\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom and Delaine Eastin, the former state superintendent of schools, have both said they \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article174827261.html\">support the nurses’ single-payer bill\u003c/a>. Fellow Democrats Antonio Villaraigosa, former mayor of Los Angeles, and John Chiang, the state treasurer, say they want to expand health care so that everyone is covered, but not necessarily with the single-payer model that would abolish private health insurers and replace them with a government-run system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of medical groups is lobbying against the single-payer bill, arguing that it makes more sense to protect and expand the federal Affordable Care Act, which has increased the number of Californians who have health insurance. Some members of the coalition have a history of spending big money to sway California elections. One of them, the doctors association, donated to Newsom before he voiced support for single-payer; it’s not yet clear if they will shift support to another candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost two-thirds of Californians like the idea of a statewide single-payer health care system, although enthusiasm drops significantly if it would require raising taxes, according to polling last year by the Public Policy Institute of California. Still, Californians didn’t cite health care as a top priority when asked last month what the Legislature and governor should focus on in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Assembly just wrapped up a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-chorus-of-healthcare-advocates-praise-1518049362-htmlstory.html\">series of hearings\u003c/a> on what it would take to create a health care system that covers all Californians. It exposed \u003ca href=\"https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/02/07/80550/these-legal-hurdles-could-trip-up-universal-health/\">many obstacles\u003c/a>—in both federal and state law—to swiftly enacting single-payer. For one, the state would need permission from the federal government—and perhaps an act of Congress—to shift billions of dollars from Medi-Cal and Medi-Care into a state-run single-payer plan. For another, if lawmakers raised taxes to fund single-payer, voters would likely have to approve changes to the California Constitution to allow the money to go to health care instead of schools. (That’s the only single-payer \u003ca href=\"https://www.euhc4ca.org/contact-us/\">initiative\u003c/a> trying to qualify for the ballot, and while a Silicon Valley tech consultant is gathering signatures for it, he doesn’t have support from the nurses union or any other well-financed group.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jim Wood, a Healdsburg Democrat who chaired the panel, called the single-payer bill “aspirational” and said he’s instead considering legislation that could help more Californians get health care without requiring permission from the federal government. One idea: extending subsidized health plans to adults who are undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe we can actually get to single payer, once we go through a lot of study and a lot of work,” Wood said. “But this feels, at times, more like a litmus test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11650534/single-payer-health-care-in-california-why-advocates-are-playing-the-long-game","authors":["byline_news_11650534"],"programs":["news_6944","news_72"],"categories":["news_457","news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_19085","news_20191","news_23202","news_683","news_1054","news_22597","news_17286"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11650544","label":"source_news_11650534"},"news_11641911":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11641911","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11641911","score":null,"sort":[1515890313000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"single-payer-healthcare-divides-gubernatorial-candidates-at-town-hall","title":"Single-Payer Healthcare Divides Gubernatorial Candidates at Town Hall","publishDate":1515890313,"format":"standard","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>For more than an hour, Saturday's town hall meeting of gubernatorial candidates at the University of Southern California proceeded at a tame, predictable pace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats Gavin Newsom, Antonio Villaraigosa, John Chiang, and Delaine Eastin took turns criticizing President Trump's comments and policies, while Republicans John Cox and Travis Allen denounced the record of current Governor Jerry Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the topic of single-payer health care came up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate over whether to pioneer a system of government-run health care for all California residents once again divided the Democrats on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"The current system is insolvent,\" said Newsom, the state's Lieutenant Governor. \"It is long overdue in this state.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also provided Villaraigosa and Chiang an opportunity to take shots at Newsom, who has taken on front-runner status in the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two pushed Newsom and former State Superintendent Eastin to provide more details on how to pay for a single-payer plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estimates show that $50-$100 billion in new spending would be needed to run the system in California, possibly through an increased payroll tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You gotta have a plan,\" said Villaraigosa, the former mayor of Los Angeles. \"Anybody that is telling you we should do it without a plan is selling you snake oil.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Appearing with the four Democrats on stage for the first time, Republicans Cox and Allen dismissed the idea of handing over control of health care to the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They focused much of their energy on attacking each others' conservative credentials, perhaps sensing that the only way to advance beyond the June primary is by consolidating the shrinking electorate of right-wing Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As boos rained down from the Bovard Auditorium crowd, both Republicans defended President Donald Trump's immigration policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"The President is trying to work with Congress to get problems solved,\" said Allen, a State Assemblyman from Orange County. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also sparred over their dueling efforts to repeal California's new gas tax.
