Sen. Kuehl Reintroduces SB 810 on Feb 27
Dear SB 810 Supporter:
We urge you to come to the State Capitol on Tuesday, Feb. 27. This year's campaign for State Senator Sheila Kuehl's single-payer health care bill will be launched, and a huge turnout of supporters is vital. With events in both the morning and the afternoon, it will be a full and exciting day!
At 12:00PM, Sen. Kuehl will hold a press conference to introduce her new SB 810. We want the media to see enthusiastic crowds of supporters in Room 1190.
At 1:30PM, the Assembly Health Committee will hold a special informational hearing on SB 810 for the entire afternoon. Sen. Kuehl will present the case for a universal single payer health care system. The video about SB 810, The Healthcare Solution: California OneCare, will be shown.
We want to pack the hearing to show the committee members strong public support for the bill. To make sure you get a seat, we recommend you get to Room 4202 before 1:30PM.
It took two years (2005-2006) to move the first SB 810 through the legislature and put it on Governor Schwarzengger's desk. Then he vetoed it. This year we are building an even larger grassroots movement to try to put the new SB 810 back on his desk by this summer.
This campaign won¹t be easy. There are many new Senators and Assembly Members who have to be educated about single payer. There are other health care reform bills. But the best solution to the health care crisis is SB 810.
Please get the word out to members of your organization to come to the capitol on February 27. We'll see you there!
