You’ve come to this website because you care that we don’t have what every other industrialized nation takes for granted, a universal health care system that provides everyone with the health care they need, regardless of age, state of health, or employment status. You may even be angry about it.
We want to help you change the system.
There’s a lot you can do!

I support single-payer healthcare. My husband and I have a small business and we had to stop paying for medical insurance for ourselves and our staff because we simply cannot afford it. My husband is diabetic and I need ongoing ophthomological care but had to decide whether to pay the rent or the medical insurance. The rent won out!
There is the greatest need to change the Laws about large contributions by companies who are not people.
We need to remind our Lawmakers and representatives that those wanking bastards are CIVIL SERVANTS and that they are supposed to serve us the Taxpayers because we are their employers.The conflict of interest is never taken into consideration even though it is flagrant!
Single Payer is the way to go.
We need single payer health care. There is a hope of obtaining it in California before the rest of the country has it.
The health care bill can’t be allowed to die. We have the names of the officials who are on the take from insurers and killed the bill.
The initiative process is most likely a better way to pass this bill than expecting the Legislature to pass it.
Like Eve and her husband, my sister and I have a small business – independent contractors under an umbrella organization that makes millions but refuses to provide health insurance (its contractors are in “too many different states”). Her husband pays for catastrophic health insurance she can’t afford to use for normal concerns because of the high deductibles and co-pays. And I can’t pay for insurance that take every penny left over after rent! We have both lived in Europe and know that universal health care is the only way to go, morally and economically.
