UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
ADVOCATES COME TO SOUTH LAKE TAHOE
The OneCareNow Campaign supporting Single Payer Universal Heath
Care was in South Lake Tahoe Sunday, November 5, 2006. Bob Vizzard
and Randy Hicks of Sacramento Valley Health Care for All held a
large banner on South Lake Tahoe Blvd. and urged passing Tahoe residents
to support a Universal Health Care Bill, such as SB 840 which passed
the California Senate and Assembly this year, only to be vetoed
by the Governor. They explained that such a plan would cover every
Californian with full benefits and cost billions of dollars less
than we now spend.
"How
can that be?" one passer by asked.
"Simple,
because it gets rid of the waste and high profits of the private
insurance companies and the drug companies," answered Dr. Vizzard,
an emergency physician from Placer County.
"Go to
ONECARENOW.org where it is all explained," added Randy Hicks
a well known Sacramento advocate for disabled persons.
Health care
advocates are available to discuss single payer universal health
insurance with your group and show the 22 minute DVD, "The
Healthcare Solution: California OneCare." Contact Carolyn Negrete
at cnegrete@comcast.net
or Bob Vizzard, M.D. at 916-663-1739.
