@SantiagoAD53 up speaking in support now!
Now on to Carmen Comsti, Lead Regulatory Specialist for @CalNurses!
Chair @JimWoodAD2 making an excellent point about our system as is. It is near impossible for patients to figure out how much care is going to cost them.
What other service do we do this for? None!

"Fixing individual segments of the system and hoping it fixes the whole no longer appears to be an effective approach."
"Fixing individual segments of the system and hoping it fixes the whole no longer appears to be an effective approach."
"That's why after nearly 8 years of trying to make health care work for all Californians, something has to give. Just maybe, single-payer health care can be the catalyst for that change."
We appreciate @HeathFloraCA's concern that labor support #AB1400. Nobody should have to stay in a job just for the health care.
As we heard tonight, unions, labor councils across the state, and the @CaliforniaLabor strongly support #CalCare.

@HeathFloraCA @CaliforniaLabor @AdyBarkan making another critical point.
California can lead the way to national #MedicareForAll.
In Canada, one province passed a single-payer program before its popularity helped to spread the system to the entire country.
#AB1400 can be our catalyst.
