Healthcare in California’s State Prisons

Well in the News Schwarzenegger rejected a plan designed to end years of litigation over inmate medical care in California's prison system.
In a letter obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, Corrections Secretary Matthew Cate tells a court-appointed receiver that the state cannot afford the $1.9 billion fix.
All I can say is way to go!!! Schwarzenegger!!
Now folks hang on to your hat! The federal courts, which have ruled the level of care is so poor that it violates inmates' civil rights, have threatened to take money directly from the state treasury to fix the system.
This friend is the pure BS. Let me tell you who in the prisons has the bad medical care .the medical staff, a friend of mine is a L.V.N in one she has a family of five ,her out of pocket is almost ½ of the medical bill for most office visits, The denial plan is a joke ,almost noting is cover on the other hand if a inmate gets a finger cut or god forbid gets gas and its not taken care of right then and there here comes the lawyers says how bad they are being taken care of !! All most inmates do is set on their ass with a hand out.
The federal courts need to get off their butt and look at real life.
