No, it really isn't. It was just botched legislation. The "bill" was totally unfeasible without more details and a plan for how to pay for it. It's not like it's inherently unaffordable or that the cost is too high. The estimates in the article are pretty much in line with what California already spends on healthcare.
Perhaps if legislators actually knew how to legislate this would have stood a chance at passing.

It would have doubled the budget at an additional $200 billion dollars, and this is for a state in which 70% of healthcare expenses are already paid for by public funds.
