2. California is going to try do what is necessary to prevent healthcare being taken away from those wh

need it. The California Legislative Leaders have indicated they will do what they can. Jerry Brown made it very clear California isn't going to go quietly:

"Gov. Jerry Brown, rallying a room of scientists Wednesday with his most heated rhetoric yet on the topic, suggested California would defy the federal government should President-elect Donald Trump impede the state’s efforts to thwart climate change.

“We’ve got the scientists, we’ve got the lawyers and we’re ready to fight. We’re ready to defend,” he said to boisterous applause at the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco.

Brown struck a more forceful tone than he has since the election, suggesting the energy and enthusiasm in the room for him would be needed in the “battles ahead.”

As for healthcare, if anyone can do this California can. I can see California aligning with Oregon, and Washington, perhaps other states to provide, if not a single payer system, to provide a healthcare system that would cover those who are not covered by employment, or Medicare.
