Single Payer has been brought forward in California [View all]

The ACHA is going nowhere and the GOP backup plan is to keep killing the ACA
They've already started by making Medicaid expansion optional for states and underfunding risk corridors.

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.

Managing prescription drug costs
