The governor’s Healthy California for All Commission resumes meeting on Friday, May 21st, from 1 to 5 p.m. The commission will consider ways a unified financing system would cover health care for all in California. Single payer advocates need to show up in large numbers to this meeting to stress to commissioners the urgency of focusing on single payer as THE way to make this happen. Please register now!
If you want to prepare a short statement to submit or deliver, the main point, forever and always, is the savings reaped from creating one giant risk pool–everybody in, nobody out–with one public fund paying all the bills. This is how we pay for a single payer universal health care system–through the system itself. The commission must hear from us.
