Nurses Join the Call for Healthcare for All Californians

Nurses Join Call for Healthcare for the 99% in Statewide Rallies

Actions in Sacramento, Los Angeles to Challenge Insurance Giants,
Seek Passage of Bill to Extend Guaranteed Care to All Californians.

A broad coalition of activists -- including registered nurses, medical students, seniors, physicians, members of the Occupy movement, and the recently formed Campaign for a Healthy California (CHC) -- held marches and rallies Monday, January 9 in Sacramento and Los Angeles to step up the campaign to extend guaranteed healthcare coverage to all Californians.

The actions will also promote passage of SB 810, which would establish a Medicare for all/single payer system in California. In addition to addressing the ongoing healthcare crisis faced by millions of Californians who are uninsured, under insured or denied care by their insurer, SB 810 would address California's budget emergency by lowering state expenditures on healthcare through a more rational, more cost effective healthcare system.
