Healthcare Reform
California Will Do Better
Support SB 810,
The California Universal Healthcare Act
·        SB 810 delivers healthcare to everyone, while the national legislation leaves millions without healthcare.
·        SB 810 saves $345 billion over 10 years, while the national legislation gives private insurance companies $500 billion over 10 years.
·        SB 810 removes the private insurance industry from healthcare. For decades, we have been wasting 31 cents of every healthcare dollar by using the private insurance industry. They are in business to avoid the sick and deny claims.  It's time to hold them accountable.  It is time to remove these profiteers from our health care.
