['Here' {CALIFORNIA}...]
The California Senate on Thursday passed a measure to create a state-run, single-payer health system.
The proposal would create the California Health System, which would be funded by pooling all federal and state money California currently spends on health care and a yet-to-be-determined payroll tax.
It is estimated to cost about $200 billion - a year.
All state residents would be required to join with citizens expected to also buy private health care insurance to cover services not offered through the state plan...
The 22-14 vote was nearly party-line, with one Democrat, Sen. Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, voting no.
It now moves to the Assembly...
