Greetings healthcare justice advocates. Please join one or more canvasses throughout California during next week's #CalCare weekend of action on June 24th and 25th.

We will canvass to continue to build the movement to pass CalCare, the California Guaranteed Health Care for All Act! If enacted, CalCare would guarantee high-quality health care to every resident in our state. We will talk to community members about our campaign and ask them to add their name to our statewide petition in support of CalCare. Please RSVP and join at:

"$31,065: That’s the 2023 cost of healthcare for a hypothetical family of four covered by a PPO plan through their employer."

We should be ashamed that we let this happen. #SinglePayerNow

We need #MedicareForAll!

The ongoing damage & death by Covid19 will be felt for decades.

Patients can't pay & we don't have needed medical infrastructure or workers to deal with the endless influx of (re)infections & chronic #LongCovid needs!

I'm applying for a remote job in another state. Pretty common these days, right?

Raises two issues which can only be resolved by universal health care. But I don't think our representatives have enough of a clue about worker life to grok this essential change/need

(1. I'm deeply invested in my current plan, with being thisclose to hitting my deductible. I can;t change insurance midyear, bc, deductibles aren't transferable. 2. Health insurance--a job perk, right, says Congress---will be useless to me [but part of my compensation package, even though it will cost me a ton to be out of network], as I will be living 1000 miles away from the state university offering me their state insurance.

Being self-employed, or being a remote worker, both demand #singlepayernow #universalhealthcare #socializedmedicine #itstheeconomy

We had a great experience knocking on doors and talking to people about for #CalCare today in Baldwin Park. Thank you very much to Stephanie, Stephanie, Anthony, Tony, Nanette, Erika, Tatiana, Lu, Jim and Nancy for canvassing.

@fizzlesticks Funny, Health Alliance told me today that my insurance will not cover medication for the condition which leads to me taking a number of other medication and puts my health at risk in a wide variety of ways #singlepayernow

My dentist and eye doctor no longer take my insurance. My primary care office didn't mention it, but now I'm wondering if I should double check before my appointment! #singlepayernow #insurancsucks #geha

He is also likely lose his job because of getting shot and hospitalized: “A victim of the mass shooting in Half Moon Bay, California told Gov. Gavin Newsom that he wanted to leave the hospital as quickly as possible to avoid high medical costs.” 🤬

Nothing triggers a #migraine for me as well as the hassle I have to go through with insurance around the medication I use to prevent migraines!

The American healthcare-for-profit/pharmaceutical system is ass. #SinglePayerNow

Oh well. I loved 2023 for a day, and then realized that it's not a whole new year, it's a whole new deductible

@beth72@twitter.com @IncenseBerner@twitter.com @GodandtheBear@twitter.com @LittleBirdSteph@twitter.com that PAC is “Protecting access to affordable health care”
doublespeak if I ever heard it

Fvck “access” and who classified the care as “affordable”?
probably billionaires

Remember me going to the ER for a bad infection in my leg a few weeks ago? Just got the bill. $9,500. Insurance adjusted it down to $3,200. Which I have to pay as I'm on a high-deductible plan.

I'll be OK, but daaaamn.
