California People's Petition for CA Medicare 4 All Single Payer Healthcare System
Petition to recognize the urgency, necessity, and immediacy for our California Legislators to write, introduce and pass a CA Medicare For All Single Payer bill in the current legislative session and subsequent legislative sessions, as necessary until enacted.
Why is this important?
WHEREAS, the current California Democratic Party Platform advocates legislation to “create and implement a publicly-funded single-payer, privately delivered, fiscally tractable, affordable, comprehensive, secure, high-quality, efficient, and sustainable health care system for all Californians”; and
WHEREAS, our current Governor campaigned with Single Payer as a platform issue, we have a Democratic supermajority in our state legislature, our Democratic Senate President pro Tempore and California Insurance Commissioner were co-authors of the most recent single-payer bill in the California legislature, now is the optimal time to introduce and pass a Single Payer bill in accordance with the their California Democratic Party Platform on Health Care; and
WHEREAS, due to the repeated attacks by the current Federal Administration to dismantle the Affordable Care Act which would leave millions of Californians without necessary healthcare coverage, California must go on the offensive by introducing and passing a Single-Payer Healthcare bill in the current legislative session and, if not enacted currently, in subsequent legislative sessions until enacted so as to ensure there is no lapse in essential healthcare coverage in the event that the Federal Administration strikes down the Affordable Care Act;
WHEREAS, our California Republican Party Legislators commitment to fiscally responsible legislation would be met with a publicly financed Medicare For All Single Payer Healthcare System.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the People of California, call upon the Governor, the Senate President pro Tempore, the Speaker of the Assembly, and all CA Legislators in our state legislature to write, introduce, and pass a CA Medicare For All Single Payer bill as soon as possible, and intends to use any tool at its disposal to influence legislators to do so, including, but not limited to, setting in to motion a recall of any legislators refusing to work towards a CA Medicare For All Single Payer Healthcare System; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the People of California will submit this petition to the Governor, the Senate President pro Tempore, the Speaker of the Assembly, and all California State Legislators members of our state legislature to impress upon them the urgency, necessity and immediacy to introduce and pass a Medicare For All Single-Payer Healthcare bill, the passage of which is the only way to bring to realization a morally and fiscally responsible healthcare system for all Californians, where health care is a right for all Californians and not a privilege.
