Perhaps the bulk of it will come from folks (and companies?) who have driven real estate prices up to the point no working class person can afford to buy a home in any major city in California.
There may be some negative consequences to that, as well, in the form of some companies or people moving out of California. But, hey, maybe that'd help solve the housing crisis. And, it's also a competitive advantage on some vectors, so maybe it would have a net positive impact on economic growth in the state.
I, honestly, have no idea how it'd work, especially for a state that has managed to have a budget crisis seemingly every year for decades (but, maybe this is just me having a selective memory). But, the CA economy is very, very, big (the biggest, and bigger than many other states combined). If any state could do it, it would be CA.
It'd be interesting, anyway. Somebody has to go first.

#20Though I'm usually skeptical of government overreach and innefficiency, I do believe a minimum of preventative care would save people and the system a lot in terms of money, time, and life. So go for it, and let the rest of the country see how it goes.
