Last week was a big week for our movement in California.
On Wednesday, February 7th, our new CalCare bill (AB 2200) was reintroduced in the California State Assembly by Asm. Ash Kalra (D-San José) to establish a single-payer health care system that will guarantee care for every Californian.
The California Guaranteed Health Care for All Act, or CalCare, will ensure that all Californians have health care as a right, like Medicare for All would do nationally. By streamlining payments and lowering per-capita health care spending, CalCare guarantees quality health care, including long-term care, without creating barriers to care or out-of-pocket costs.
Since this is a big moment for our fight in California, we wanted to make sure to share the news with you. While we fight for Medicare for all nationally, winning a single-payer health care system in California can help lay the groundwork by showing the rest of the country that a better system is possible.
This is a MAJOR step forward for health care justice – now, it’s on us to spread the word and get to work to build the support needed to pass this bill into law. And there are ways that you can help, even if you don’t live in California!

Then, check out our CalCare Introduction Toolkit with a variety of ways to share this news on social media, suggested calls to action, shareable graphics, and more! You don’t have to live in California to help spread the word on social media.
The more momentum we build for CalCare in this crucial moment, the greater our chances at getting it over the finish line before the end of this legislative session.
Thank you so much for being in this fight with us,
