Closing Comments

California's Single Payer Health Care Bill, SB 810, would guarantee all Californians health care coverage that is patient-centered, affordable and sustainable. Based on the Medicare model, SB 810 allows patients to remain with their private doctors and hospitals, or to choose other doctors and hospitals. Most important, physicians and patients make the decisions about patient care.
Learn more about the basic issues of California's health care crisis, the basic components of the SB 810 single payer plan, and how you can help to support a solution that makes sense.
