How will this affect the public?

The California's Budget could leave thousands of children on a waiting list for health care and are trying to find ways around a $17.2 million budget shortage. More than 800,000 children rely on the low-cost health, dental, and vision coverage. The Managed Risk Insurance Board states that the waiting list could estimate up to 160,000 children in the first six months.
--------------------
If there are 800,000 children relying on low-cost budgets, that is 1,600,000 parents who can't afford health care, vision care or dental coverage. With this deficit, those families will be FORCED to pay more money....many will not be able to do that so it puts a strain on the higher wage earners of the country. The money must come from somewhere!!! Because this may put a strain on the systems, waiting periods will have to be implemented and a person who needs a knee replacement may have to wait 1 year to receive a new knee instead of the old system of 2 days. Everything will be backed up and the system will be failing people. Many unnecessary deaths will occur because of the strain on the system.
