The Fight for Single Payer in California Begins Anew Tomorrow

[t0dd]

On April 27th, the California Senate Health Committee will hold its first hearing on SB.810, a bill sponsored by Senator Mark Leno to establish a single payer health insurance system throughout California.

In the cities of Sacramento and Oakland California, the good fight was recently fought for eight days by members of and volunteers for Remote Area Medical. They provided free vision, dental and medical care to thousands of people over the course of their visit -- a visit that could no longer be necessary if we win the war against health insurers and for the right to health care.

There are (at least) two distinct California organizations actively promoting single payer health care in California, Single Payer Now and California OneCare.

2. You have any recent evidence (past two or three years) that Jerry supports single payer?

because, as far as I can tell, he's been uncomfortably silent on the issue.
