Healthy California
On Tuesday the Assembly Select Committee on Universal Healthcare released their report from months of hearings exposing our healthcare crisis and healthcare models from around the world. Unfortunately, but as expected, this report was used to dismiss SB 562 and instead promote various alternative healthcare proposals. We have answers to every critique of SB 562 and call for the bill to move forward to a committee hearing so we can have this debate and where, unlike the Select Committee, the bill could be amended, voted on and moved forward. We know SB 562 is the most comprehensive and effective way to control costs, save billions and guarantee a single standard of care to all in California. If we are to pass guaranteed healthcare for all, we need that work to start now and not be further delayed.
It's disappointing that our elected leaders are spending so much energy finding ways to do anything but pass guaranteed healthcare... but the best way to respond to these political maneuvers is for us to continue to the keep on the pressure!
