Single-payer health care would benefit Californians

Sens. Ricardo Lara and Toni Atkins on Friday introduced a single-payer health care bill that would cover all California residents. The timeliness could not be better with support for a single-payer health care system at an all-time high, including moderate Republicans, and health care under attack at a federal level. The costs should be more than recoverable vs. today’s insurance premiums and insurers’ abhorrent productivity levels. Call, text, email or write your senator, Assembly member and governor today. Ask them to help lead the charge to universal, affordable health care.
