Doctors may start prescribing homes to sick patients as part of California Gov. Gavin Newsom's plan for a holistic solution to healthcare and homelessness.

In a series of tweets on Friday, the Democrat argued healthcare and homelessness are not separate problems. He suggested doctors should be able to prescribe a place to stay if they are treating a mentally ill person who does not have stable housing.

“Doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing the same way they do for insulin or antibiotics,” Newsom said. [highlight=#ffff99]“We need to start targeting social determinants of health.[/highlight] We need to start treating brain health like we do physical health. What's more fundamental to a person's well being than a roof over their head?”

Who will take this one?

What could go wrong... Doctors are angels, are they not? Far elevated above any earthly desires.

Just look at the wonders Papa Doc performed in Haïti! Che Guevara also prescribed housing to a lot of people - like people with naughty opinions and such.

Long live the white coated revolution!

Komrade 'Pelipsky, would you politely shut the F%#K UP!?!? We could talk Kommissar Newsom into increasing the vodka ration. It targets your thirst, makes you social, and I have determined that it helps with health, both in [ON] and [OFF] mode.

'pelipsky started huffin' Pam back in the 80's before graduating into other paints and solvents in the 90's just to survive. And just last week, there was 'pelipsky just out havin' fun riding bikes in the sunshine with the other kids in the hood, when a pair of Bernie Bros and ho's ran 'pelipsky's crue off the road and into the ditch.

Sure, that paper sack of Pam cut the pain of our skint knees and elbows, but the wicker basket on the front of 'pelipsky's bike got crunched so bad that Mr. Drysdale, 'pelipsky's four legged pal, has no place to ride as chief navigator anymore.

What's Kommissar Newsom's prescription fix for that?? huh??

There is already a fix Komrade. Simply walk down to your local ultra-prog university in your best ultra-prog uniform, and ask for an environmental basket weaving grant. Then use the money to get a new basket that suits you and Mr. Drysdale.

Whatever money's left (they'll give you more than enough), just spend it how you feel! They don't check. They just want to see the standard 5-paragraph essay at the end of the trial. Oh, by the way, you can skip the essay by stating that the end of the trial will be 200 years from now. By then, the Glorious Revolution (and/or the student loan bubble burst) will happen and either they will have forgotten about the trial in the Revolutionary Fires, or the university will no longer exist!
