SAHU’s PAC Chair on the Importance of this Event

What Is the Political Action Committee Current Discussion All About?
California’s state legislature is pushing ahead to implement Single Payer in our state.
This event is an opportunity for you to secure your seat at the table as an active participant in this VERY IMPORTANT ongoing discussion that effects all Californians.
What Happens if AB 2200 is Passed?
AB 2200 would make CalCare the state’s single-payer health-coverage provider. Under the act it would be illegal for any resident to pay a doctor privately for any medical treatment covered by CalCare.
The outcome: Medicare, Medi-Cal, Tricare, Employer Group Coverage, Individual and Family Plans… ALL CURRENT avenues would become illegal.
We already have a provider shortage, and this would almost certainly chase more providers away, at the same time as surging demand (for free healthcare).
How does SAHU make a difference?
As a leader in our local chapter of CAHIP, SAHU has front row access to our political action endeavors. We work closely with a team of experts who are diligent in engaging and educating our state legislators in support of our priorities.
This is an evening dedicated to education, advocacy, and lobbying to align the future of healthcare with our vision of affordable, reliable, quality healthcare for all!
