CalCare Single-Payer Reform Legislation Bill Introduced
Passage of AB 2200 would guarantee healthcare for all Californians and directly finance efforts to dismantle healthcare inequalities
- Comprehensive Coverage: CalCare ensures access to a wide range of health services, including primary care, hospitalization, prescription drugs, mental health, and long-term care.
- No Out-of-Pocket Costs: Say goodbye to copays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket expenses. CalCare provides essential health care services without financial barriers.
- Health Equity: Underserved communities are a priority. This bill establishes an Office of Health Equity to ensure health equity is a primary issue across California.
- Provider Choice: Patients retain the freedom to choose their health care providers with one important change: patients will no longer need to worry about network restrictions.
- Prescription Cost: CalCare leverages bulk purchasing power to negotiate lower costs for prescription drugs, making medications more affordable for all Californians.
