California Universal Health Care Act
April 18, 2011 -- California Senate Bill 810 -- It's back! And coming up for a Senate Health Committee hearing on 5/4/2011. (Thanks again, Mr. Leno!) Let's save money (yes, our state budget is deep in the red) and cover everybody at the same time. How? Eliminate the middle man! Let the State be the single payer. It works in Massachusetts. Why not here? Though I'm no longer a student, I continue to support the goals of the California Health Professional Student Alliance (CaHPSA) and participate in its calls to action. I have telephoned my State Senators and let them know how important it is for California -- along with the national health care reform -- to move forward. Our "system" is a disgrace... but we can fix it. We must fix it. Go SB810! |

"The United States alone [among wealthy countries] treats health care as a commodity to be distributed according to the ability to pay rather than a social service to be distributed according to medical need." — JAMA (2003), 290, 798
