Alright I posted this in "Healthcare" but still haven't gotten any responses.

I've been offered an at home job with a company in N. California that would require about 6 months of self study, and I also found a great deal for a place to live in that same town in California.

At the same time, yet unrelated, I realized that I need to start preparing to move out of my current apartment (in Nashville TN) and preparing to leave my current job.

I can do my studying anywhere, but it would be beneficial to be in N. Cali while I was studying, plus there are other reasons I want to be there, and if I'm about to leave my current work/living situation.. why not?

So, after battling healthcare in TN all my life, I'm worried about the healthcare situation. A doctor or social worker once told me that California has a program that covers everything for CF patients, but then I've heard Californians on this board say that's not true.

Does anybody have any info, phone numbers, suggestions, ANYTHING about healthcare in California for CFers?</end quote></div>

I would really like to know this too, i may be moving there...

but from what I hear they have gutted the ghpp plan and medi-cal

I guess they are in really bad shape. I think the gov't is run really poorly and there is a lot of poverty and welfare people--so I hear

I would hesitate to move there and have to rely on a state program. Maybe CA is just too messed up right now--makes me think of staying in this state awhile longer. Someone said of CA: too many people competing for too few resources...just havoc. But I really don't know...Norcal is supposed to be better to live than SOCal. A few friends of mine call socal "the hell hole" haha.

Looking forward to hearing from the CA crew

Well that's how it is with generous government benefits.... this is just how the world works.

Those who are paying too much for it move to other places where they don't have to pay so much.

Those who want the benefits move there in droves and increase the costs of the system.

So you have what's going on in CA. It's very predictable... this is just how economics works, every time it's tried.
