Today, I’m excited to introduce #AB1400 in order to create a single-payer healthcare system here in California! This is the first critical step necessary to design a single-payer system that works for Californians. #CalCare

I appreciate the sponsors of #CalCare @CalNurses and look forward to working with them on this transformational legislation. I know this will not be easy, but I am willing to spend my time and energy into making this a reality. Nothing worth fighting for comes easily.
#AB1400

I will focus on the policy to design a program that actually brings healthcare to all Californians in a manner that is cost effective and just. Our current healthcare system is the most expensive in the world yet is far from the best in terms of outcomes.

Millions are uninsured, especially in the midst of the pandemic recession. And, millions more who are insured ration their care due to high co-pays and deductibles. We can and must do better. #CalCare #AB1400
