“Then they just have to get sick.” Not surprising that the pro-billionaires march organizer a) hasn’t thought through his positions and b) is a much bigger fan of keeping billionaires in CA regardless the impact over supporting pregnant mothers with healthcare.

"California is, I believe, the only state to give health insurance to people who come into the country illegally," Kauffman said nervously. "I think we probably should not be providing that."

Fourteen states offer health coverage to undocumented immigrants. Far more offer health coverage to pregnant undocumented immigrants. Kauffman later clarified that he meant the state was the only one to extend state-funded health coverage to all low-income adults regardless of immigration status.

"So you'd rather everyone just be sick, and get everyone else sick?" another reporter asked.

"That's not what I'm saying," said Kauffman.

"Isn't that effectively what happens?" the reporter countered. "They don't have access to health care and they just have to get sick, right?"

Kauffman contemplated that one for a moment.
"Then they have to just get sick," he said. "I mean, it's unfortunate, but I think that it's sort of impossible to have both liberal immigration laws and generous government benefits."

Kauffman, who recently left his tech job, has since been completely occupied with organizing Saturday's march. He said he expected dozens to join him.

All told, at least 20 did, Kauffman later said. It was for the best that more did not: The group later
decamped from Alta Plaza Park and marched to Civic Center, where they did not have a permit for a rally.

Half an image of three pro-billionaire people holding signs, Kauffman in the middle with a sign that that says, “the pie is growing!”

San Francisco’s billionaire bacchanal a big bust

Only a couple dozen pro-billionaire agitators actually showed for an apparently earnest “March for Billionaires” at Alta Plaza Park.
