Dear HCA members and supporters,
Coming up in the next two weeks! Opportunities to learn more about the CA single payer movement and to promote passage of SB 770 in Sacramento.
California Single Payer Healthcare TOWN HALL

Online Event

Thursday, August 24, 5 p.m.

Sponsored by Courage California
with
Health Care for All - CA (HCA) and California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA)

Single payer health care has never been more needed. That's why we are partnering to update you on the latest progress and the ongoing efforts to achieve our goal.

We’ll hear from healthcare advocates from the Health4All campaign that supported full scope MediCal eligibility for all undocumented residents, and from representatives of the Healthy California Now coalition, organizational sponsor of SB 770.

ASL interpretation will be provided by Pro Bono ASL, and Spanish translation will also be available.

SB 770 Advocacy Day in Sacramento
Let's get SB 770 across Governor Newsom's desk!

Thursday, August 29
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Come to the Capitol! Join HCA volunteers and other affiliate members of the Healthy California Now statewide coalition sponsoring SB 770. We will fan out in small groups to the offices of Assembly members to encourage "Yes" votes in the Appropriations Committee (September 1) and full Assembly (TBD).

Meet at 10 a.m. in the legislative office building at 1021 O Street. Lunch included.

RSVP by Thursday, August 24 to Carolyn@HealthyCa.org

Questions? Contact info@healthcareforall.org

What's the status of SB 770? The bill passed the full Senate in May (30-9) and the Assembly Health Committee in June (10-4).

What will it do? SB 770 addresses some political challenges that have thwarted us in the past. It supports the governor's involvement in overseeing timely communication between state health officials and the federal government on potential design and funding approval. It also sets up a process to engage a broader group of healthcare reform advocates in the active pursuit of guaranteed universal health care.

Read the bill and check out the fact sheet.
Thank you so much,

Devra Dallman, Chair
Health Care for All - California
