CALIFORNIA SB810 SUPPORTERS - 2 CALLS FROM YOU NEEDED NOW


Single Payer Now

SB 810 to be voted upon by August 31
Call 2 Assembly Members Today

Dear SB 810 Healthcare Activist,

Please call the Speaker of the Assembly John Perez and your Assembly Member to urge a yes vote on SB 810, the California Universal Healthcare Act. SB 810 would deliver comprehensive healthcare to everyone and it would save Californians tens of billions of dollars. It will do what the national health plan does not - cover everyone and contain health care costs. It will set the standard for the rest of the nation.

On Thursday, August 12, the Assembly Appropriations Committee sent SB 810 to Assembly for a vote. The vote will take place sometime before August 31.

The single payer movement has been an inspiration to the nation by passing SB 810 twice before in our legislature. We want to continue inspiring the nation by passing single payer healthcare a 3rd time.

Speaker John Perez can be reached at 916-319-2046. He is the first Speaker of the Assembly in 6 years to not be a co-author of SB 810. He needs to receive thousands of calls.

Then call your Assembly Member. You can find out who your Assembly member is by clicking here.

See Assembly Member roster below for voting records on SB 810 and their telephone number.
If your Assembly Member is a co-author, please thank them for co-sponsoring. It is important that legislators know we appreciate their efforts.
If your Assembly Member has voted for SB 810 in the past, but is not a co-author, thank for voting yes.
If your Assembly Member has not voted for SB 810, encourage them to do so.

We encourage you to forward this alert.
We also encourage you make a contribution to the campaign for SB 810.
Please let us know if you have called.
