Support for California's Healthy California Act (S.B. 562) will not stop!

Submitted by smaple on

Earth to Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon! Nurses never give up and neither will millions of Californians who support Single Payer Healthcare.

By now it’s no secret the California Senate passed S.B. 562 on June 1 but it was then blocked from moving forward in the Assembly by Speaker Anthony Rendon.

After a great deal of pressure from bill supporters to allow the bill out of the Rules Committee, he instead created a “Select Committee" that has no legislative authority.

Supporters remain steadfast in their efforts to pass S.B. 562.
