Californians for a Healthy California Act Seeks One Plan, More Choice for Residents
Healthy California Highlights:
Every California resident has one plan and more choice.
No more plan-switching or guesswork when insurance rates or plans change.
You pick your doctor, not health insurers.
Clinicians make decisions about care, not computers.
By pooling health care funds in a publicly-run fund we get the bargaining power of the seventh largest economy.
We cut out insurance company waste and duplication.
No more out of control co-pays and high deductibles.
Public oversight on costs and care, not decisions made in secret.
