Hello -

You really need to take a stand on Single Payer SB 810. California needs to lead the country on this issue. There are many people who don't have jobs and are to young for Medicare. What do they do? Drive to TJ for cheap treatment? It's a disgrace that a country as rich as the US is the only industrialized country in the world that does not provide a healthcare plan. Instead, we have for profit insurance companies robbing us blind and letting us die.

The amount of money saved by Single Payer would more than make up for what is spent on medicine in this state. Do the will of the peoplet, NOT the insurance companies, and support SB 810.

thank you.
