Speaking for Controlled Healthcare Insurance Corp., the incomparable Ernestine tells a patient, “Life itself is a pre-existing condition. Our prescription for it: Don’t get sick!” That’s the only way to stay ahead of the insurance companies who’s only concern is profits. As Ernestine says, “It takes big bucks to run an insurance company, medical care is the least of it.”

It doesn’t matter how young or healthy you are, says Natalie Lander, one day your body will betray you. Her dad, David Lander, adds that when that happens, you want the best that medical science can give you. But if you don’t have insurance, or your policy is canceled, you’re out of luck. That’s why they both support single payer, California OneCare, full care, for all, for less.

The trust in our broken health care system is gone, says Valerie Harper. The rules are always changing, and you’re never sure you’re going to get what you need. Instead, she wants health care she can trust: single payer, California OneCare.

The U.S. does not have the best health care in the world, says James Kahn, MD, MPH, President of the California Physicians Alliance. We spend twice as much other developed countries, and our health care system ranks 37th. The countries with the best outcomes at the lowest costs are those who use some form of single payer like California OneCare.

The purpose of insurance is to share the risk. That’s why it puzzles Ken Howard when he hears people say they don’t want to pay for somebody else’s health care. After all, we’re all going to get sick or old someday. That’s why single payer, universal health care works. Everybody’s in, nobody’s out. It’s the only way to be fair and save money at the same time.
