Elliott Gould for California OneCare
Elliott Gould warns us not to believe the myths about single payer health care. “Single payer is no more socialized medicine than the police department is socialized crime fighting,” he says. California OneCare is publicly financed, privately delivered health care, and poll after poll has shown that not only do doctors and nurses want it, but so do two-thirds of the people.

I’m so glad to hear that single payer is not socialized medicine and that the medical providers want it. It’s the first time I’ve read that. Nevertheless I know we are up against the health insurance industry. Our best hope to pass lies with SB 810.
Once people find out about Single Payer they want it. Let’s get the word out. Thanks Mr. Gould.
Everyone I know is for it, including the three doctors in my family.
This is a good ad. The comparison with “socialized crime ffighting” is a good point that should be understood by all. It’s also important that a majority of Californians want single-payer care. Keep up the good work.
Don't leave your healthcare in the hands of the shareholders and profit makers, i.e. the pharmaceutical companies, health insurance companies, and lobbyists. They want only healthy people, and then when you get sick you are excluded. That is at great cost to you and the economy. Single payer health care is not socialism, it is insurance for everyone, and the private doctors, hospitals, and care providers are paid. No more bankruptcies, or black holes of debt.
