 Michael Moore supports California Senate Bill 840! SiCKO is now playing. Please go see it as soon as you can. It is important to have a strong opening so that more theaters will book the movie and more people will see it. It's a great movie that shows specifically how the insurance companies are the biggest problem blocking quality, affordable healthcare for all. SB 840 benefits include: Security - All California residents are covered for life. Choice - Everyone has the freedom to choose their doctor or integrated
health system such as Kaiser. Delivery of care will continue as now to
be private and public. Comprehensive Benefits - Coverage includes all care prescribed
by a patient's health care provider that meets accepted standards of care
and practice. Coverage includes hospital, medical, surgical, mental health;
dental and vision care; prescription drugs and medical equipments, diagnostic
testing, hospice care and more. High Quality - The bill utilizes proven financial incentives that
support the delivery of high quality care, including bonuses for providers
working in rural or under-served areas. The plan invests in needed health
care infrastructure such as electronic claims and reimbursement systems
and statewide medical databases that improve health care quality. Efficient Administration - Consolidating the hundreds of insurance
plans, both private and public, into one comprehensive insurance plan
saves the state, patients and providers billions of dollars each year. Shared Responsibility - Payment of an affordable premium by employers,
employees and individuals supports the health care system we all need
at some time. Fair Reimbursement - Providers receive fair and full compensation
for all their services. Cost
Controls - Health care costs are controlled by efficient administration,
bulk purchase of drugs and durable medical equipment, global health care
budgets, coordination of capital expenditures, and linkage to growth of
the State Gross Domestic Product. For ease of use, get our Table
of Contents for the bill. Available for download
