ACTION PAGE: Tell Our California Legislature To Give Us Affordable Universal Health Care The California legislature is again considering Senate Bill 840, which was vetoed by Governor Schwarzenegger last year. SB 840 will provide comprehensive, high quality health insurance for all Californians. The bill provides for: One health insurance plan (single payer) that covers every California resident High quality care and comprehensive benefits, and choice of your own personal doctor Affordable for individuals, families and businesses Nearly seven million Californian lack health insurance during all or part of the year. About 70% of these people are employed but do not receive employer-based insurance. Most insured Californians are "under-insured." Under insurance means that you have health insurance but procedures or benefits are not covered or are only partially covered. Now is the time for a comprehensive system to improve care quality and make our health care system finally work for us.
