Jefferson Public Radio: California’s Universal Health Care Goals Are On Paper. Here Are 21 Bills To Keep An Eye On
Patient advocates and a handful of lawmakers rallied on the steps of the Capitol in March to push a universal health care agenda they hope will bring the state closer to getting everyone insured.
Democratic Sen. Richard Pan says it all comes down to cost.
“We can’t tell people ‘you have to have insurance’, but not make it affordable,” he said. “There’s been tremendous work done in the legislature to try to see what we can do about affordability. We’re going to be sure that we continue to push that forward this year.”
