With single payer, California OneCare, you choose any doctor you like. Whatever your doctor prescribes, that's what you get. No need for preapprovals, and no exclusions for preexisting conditions. As Peggy Miley says

Stanley and Betty Sheinbaum explain what single payer means. All the health care premiums go into one pot and from that pot all health care providers including doctors, hospitals, even dentists are paid. Single payer California OneCare is the health care plan that makes sense.

Many lose our health insurance coverage if we change or lose jobs

Click here to see the video

Many of us can lose our health insurance coverage if we change or lose jobs. For freelancers like actor David Clennon, the fear is even worse because his coverage depends on how much he earns in any given year. He’s been lucky so far, but if he had a bad year, he’d lose his coverage for himself and his family–a scary thought. The tragedy is that there are nearly seven million Californians who are already without coverage. Single payer, California OneCare would cover everybody, regardless of job status.

Single Payer provides prescription drug coverage for all, and coverage for hearing aids, eye care, home health care, adult day care, hospice care and more.

The plight of Michael Bell’s 92-year-old mother reminds us that while Medicare is good, it doesn’t go far enough in protecting our seniors from the escalating costs of prescription drugs, especially if they are in the “donut hole” and on their own. Single payer, California OneCare, not only provides prescription drug coverage for all, but it also means coverage for hearing aids, eye care, home health care, adult day care, hospice care and much more.

For almost half a century, the Improvisation Comedy Clubs (now 24) have remained the premiere stages for live comedy in the United States.

Today, the Improv stage continues to be the most important live venue for new comedians.The Improvisation was founded in New York City by Broadway producer Budd Friedman. Future giants of American comedy all vied for stage time at the New York club. In an effort to be noticed by Budd, nothing was off-limits to young comedians desperately hoping to be selected. Lily Tomlin hijacked a parked limousine and had the stunned driver circle the block so she could make the proper entrance for her meeting with Budd.

Now, Lily returns to the Improv in LA with friends to celebrate the California OneCare 365 Ad Campaign for single payer SB 810.

We hope you can join this inspiring, hilarious evening of comedy. But If you can’t attend, please donate here right now.

Sincerely,

Andrew McGuire, Executive Director, California OneCare Campaign for SB 810

Medical Student members of the Physicians for a National Health Program are on a break telling jokes, but then they are reminded of something that's just not funny. The sad truth about health care coverage is shocking and sobering.

How can we count on our private health insurance companies when they consistently deny care to their policyholders? As Tom Bower points out, in the first half of 2009, they denied one in five claims for treatments recommended by doctors for their insured patients. Pacificare denied 40 percent of claims. Cigna denied 33 percent. HealthNet 30 percent. California OneCare would cover everybody all the time–no exceptions or exclusions.

July 8th, 2010

Here's how health care works in the U.S.: First you pay a company to tell you which doctors you can see, and then they charge you extra to see them. And then their doctor has to get permission from them to treat you. And if you really get sick, they're likely to dump you and not pay for anything. If you're lucky, they'll pay for part of it.
