California Lawmakers Advance Single-Payer Health Bill
snip:
A proposal to substantially remake Californias health care system by eliminating insurance companies and guaranteeing coverage for everyone has cleared the first legislative hurdle.
The state Senate Health Committee voted to advance the measure on Wednesday as hundreds of nurses and advocates converged on the state Capitol to show their support.

The systems already exist in some states, and they already impact migrations and economies.
