Way back when we were all mesmerized with Comey’s testimony of employer harassment and Donald was being kept busy with a chew toy, the Senate GOP had been secretly crafting a healthcare plan designed to be voted on quickly by the end of June.

The Senate GOP plans on stripping health insurance away from 2.5 million Californians. People will die from this. Others will lose everything in medical bankruptcies. We can stop this. Now.

The Healthy California Act (SB 562) has passed the CA Senate and is on its way to the Assembly. We are a step closer to guaranteeing health care for all Californians.
Hannah-Beth Jackson voted YES, with encouragement from your calls. Let’s ask Assemblymember Monique Limón for her support too as the bill is now in the Assembly. The “Amherst Study” cited below shows that it can be done.
Script (Limón): I’m calling today to ask you to support SB 562, the Healthy California Act. Now is the time for bold action to ensure that Californians have access to affordable and quality health care.The “Amherst Study” proves it can be done.

The Senate’s fiscal committee will decide the fate of bills on Thursday, June 1st; the Assembly will do so on Friday, June 2nd. The ones that pass will then move to the opposite house.
With our strong Democratic majority, California has the ability to counter some of the negative policies coming out of Washington D.C. Our friends at Indivisible San Francisco short-listed some of the most important bills. If you have time this week, please pick the ones that speak the most to you, and make some phone calls.
State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assemblywoman Monique Limon don’t receive many calls from their constituents, so if we all make our voices heard this week, we can make a real difference.
