Health Care Committee

The Health Care Committee has been working to support passage and adoption of a single payer health care bill in California.  Committee members have been going out into the community to speak on what single payer is, why we need it, and how we can work to pass it.

In Spring, 2008, we are focused on the following tasks:

1. Studying the details of SB840 in workshops dedicated to our becoming more knowledgeable advocates and speakers;

2. Working to bolster a fiscal analysis project—getting organizations and political entities to run the numbers on what they pay now for health care, versus what they’d pay under SB840.

3. Participating in a statewide coalition as well as working with other local groups focused on SB840 to fire up a new house party program to raise funds and educate the public about SB840.

4. Periodically tabling for SB840 – brainstorming ideas on how to do this with minimal effort but still enough to keep a presence.

Please join us and make affordable, quality health care for all a reality!
