(Natural News) Universal sick care is coming to the Empire State, and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wants everyone to know that illegal aliens will be covered under the scheme just the same as legal citizens because, according to him, “health care is a right.”
Mayor de Blasio made his announcement about guaranteed “health care” for every single New York City resident just days after fellow New York City politician and hilariously stupid dolt Alexandria Occasional-Cortex introduced her so-called “Green New Deal,” which is basically just a plagiarized, millennial version of the Communist Manifesto.
As for de Blasio’s plan, it also comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s doubling down on improved southern border security, which Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have repeatedly indicated they will not support – even though both of them supported a border wall in the past when Donald Trump wasn’t president.
Apparently not one to let a good crisis go to waste, de Blasio made sure to blast the Trump administration in his announcement, accusing it of “gut[ting] health care for millions of Americans” while he works to guarantee “that every New Yorker has access to quality, comprehensive access to care, regardless of immigration status or their ability to pay.”
“Health care is a right, not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it,” de Blasio stated.
So … who’s going to pay for free health care for everyone in New York?

As of this writing, there are some 600,000 New Yorkers without health insurance – not to mention the untold thousands of illegal aliens residing in New York who also don’t have health insurance. This means that close to one million people will need to be covered under de Blasio’s plan.
So how will the program be funded? Well, according to de Blasio, it’s somehow only going to cost $100 million annually, so it will be little more than a minor line item, he seems to imply, in the state’s budget. But as pointed out by Zero Hedge, this $100 million figure seems highly unrealistic, even if you don’t include illegal aliens in the mix.
“The $100 million guess seems low to us for 600,000 residents (including undocumented residents),” Zero Hedge explains.
Natural News would tend to agree, seeing as how simple math reveals that for 600,000 people to be covered under a $100 million-per-year program, each person would only get about $167 worth of coverage for the entire year.
But why let facts get in the way of virtue-signaling, Leftist politics – particularly the kind that appeals to far-left socialists demanding “free” everything from the government? If health care is truly a “right,” then it doesn’t matter how much it costs, right? The money will just appear from somewhere, somehow, seems to be the Democratic sentiment.
“No one should have to live in fear,” de Blasio went on, making sure to appeal to every emotional heartstring of whomever it is who takes this man seriously.
“No one should go without the health care they need. Health care is a human right. In this city, we’re going to make that a reality … From this moment on in New York City, everyone is guaranteed the right to health care.”
The first phase of the program, called “NYC Care,” is set to launch during the summer of 2019, and will start in the Bronx and roll out from there. By the year 2021, all New Yorkers across all five boroughs will have coverage under NYC Care, according to de Blasio.
“Expect the mass exodus of tax-paying New Yorkers to continue,” joked Zero Hedge.

New York City Mayor de Blasio announces plans to seize private property

Mayor Bill de Blasio has never really hidden his feelings about private property. Back in 2017 de Blasio gave an interview to New York magazine in which he said, “Our legal system is structured to favor private property.” He then added, “If I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed.” I guess he was serious about that because last Thursday the mayor created an Office to Protect Tenants which would he hopes will ultimately be able to seize private property and hand it over to community nonprofits. From the NY Daily News:

De Blasio created the office mid-speech, pulling out an executive order from beneath his lectern with flourish.
“When a landlord tries to push out a tenant by making their home unlivable, a team of inspectors and law enforcement agents will be on the ground to stop it in time,” he said. “If the fines and the penalties don’t cut it, we will seize their buildings and we will put them in the hands of a community nonprofit that will treat tenants with the respect they deserve.”

The executive order de Blasio signed creates the new city office but Reason reports that in order to seize the private property, de Blasio will need a new local law passed.
So what will the Office to Protect Tenants do? De Blasio didn’t really explain, though his executive order says it will serve as a “central resource for tenants, social service agencies, advocacy organizations, legal services providers, landlords and management companies of affordable housing, and others on tenant issues,” including “tenant harassment.”

According to his office’s website, De Blasio is “pursuing new local law to seize upwards of 40 of the most distressed multiple dwelling buildings annually and transition them to responsible, mission driven ownership.” Passage of this legislation would presumably give the Office to Protect Tenants the authority to seize land.

So, it sounds like the sort of expropriation practiced by socialists everywhere. The city already has a program called Third-Party Transfer which does what the Mayor is describing and has for more than a decade. But in practice, some of the people losing their homes haven’t been slum lords at all. From the Brooklyn Reader:

James E. Caldwell, president of the 77th Precinct Community Council and longtime Crown Heights activist, calls it a sham.
“When the city started the program, it was to hold slumlords accountable who didn’t pay their heat or water bills,” said Caldwell. “But the city then expanded the program to people who don’t have any mortgages on the houses anymore. That way, whoever takes over the house doesn’t have to go the bank to pay it off, because it’s already free and clear. They’re stealing from hardworking black folks!”
The problem with TPT, Caldwell explained, is that the homeowners receive no warning when this transfer occurs.
“According to a new law, the homeowners don’t need to be notified anymore,” Caldwell said. “They find out, once the third party takes over their house and sends them a notification requesting rent. This is highway robbery. The city puts the house into foreclosure based on an unpaid water bill or something like that. That makes no sense.”

Once you start down this road, it’s a little hard to stop. After all, if this is really a better way to manage housing, why stop with a few dozen distressed properties? Why not seize some of the glitzier properties around Central Park? I suspect de Blasio himself would be all for it. Here’s a local news report PIX 11 broadcast last month:
