    Single-payer health care is back on the table at the California Capitol

    This week, California lawmakers will take up the latest attempt to get all state residents covered under the same health plan — an idea referred to as single payer health care — that’s been sparking debate at the Capitol for the past five years.

    Under the new plan, dubbed CalCare, all Californians would be insured by the same entity and would be able to access any doctor, regardless of network. Supporters argue that this will reduce price gouging and give all residents equal access to care.

    AB 1400 is sponsored by the California Nurses Association, who first introduced single payer legislation in 2017. At the time, the proposal had an estimated $400 billion price tag and no funding source.

    After it failed, an Assembly committee gathered to discuss options for reforming the state’s health care delivery system. The committee put together recommendations for how to make coverage more affordable and accessible for all Californians, which informed legislation that emerged in the following years.

    The new proposal would create a tax to fund the single payer option. The tax would apply to companies earning more than $2 million, businesses with 50 or more employees and individuals making more than roughly $150,000 a year.

    California Single-Payer Health Care Bill Dies In State Assembly

    California State Assembly members were slated to vote on single-payer health care bill Assembly Bill 1400 on Jan. 31 after it passed a series of hurdles this month. However, the bill didn’t have enough support to pass the legislative body, and lawmakers let the bill die without bringing it to a vote by the deadline.

    “We are all gutted,” Amar Shergill, chairman of the Progressive Caucus and executive board member of the California Democratic Party, wrote on Twitter.

    “Will need a moment to absorb and recover.”

    created the first state single-payer health care system in the nation—would have required an estimated $163 billion in new taxes per year and offered health care to all citizens and noncitizens living in the state.

    Affordable housing and food, tuition assistance, and universal health care are hallmarks of a social welfare system; and life in the armed forces.
