THREAD:

Follow along in this below as #CalCare/#AB1400 faces its first legislative hurdle with a hearing and vote in the Assembly Health Committee later today.

If passed, AB 1400 would create a single-payer health system, guaranteeing health care to all Californians. The hearing begins at 1:30pm PT and AB 1400 will be the final piece of legislation considered.

The bill will likely not come up until late afternoon/early evening.

ICYMI: The Healthy California for All Commission had another meeting last week, and a lot was discussed. Check out this thread for a quick recap of the good, the bad, and the ugly! Make sure to read the whole thread for links to get more involved! #CaLeg #AB1400 #CalCare For those who don't know, The Healthy California for All Commission, chaired by the Secretary of @CHHSAgency, exists to discuss options for universal health care in California. It's scheduled to deliver a report with recommendations in early 2022 #CaLeg #AB1400 #CalCare

After months of pressure from the #MedicareForAll movement the House @EnergyCommerce hearing on Universal Health Care is set to begin in 30 mins.

We'll be tweeting along in this thread, otherwise you can watch the proceedings live here:

@EnergyCommerce Last week we talked to @RepAnnaEshoo constituent Luisa, a mother of two who is disabled and relies on Medicare to survive. She supports #MedicareForAll because she knows that nobody should die or forego care because they cannot afford it.
