Great turnout on July 30th when Medicare turned 61. The meeting with Doris Matsui’s staff was cancelled the night before after 5:00 pm via email because they did not want to meet with a group that was affiliated with National Nurses United even though all the people are constituents. They still did their presentation and are still asking for Doris Matsui to co-sponsor HR 3069 Medicare for All Bill. We want to improve and expand Medicare to cover everyone. Mai Vang only heard about the event the morning of the event after we learned that our appointment had been cancelled. The event was NOT a campaign event and there was no mention of the upcoming election. The event was totally focused on our need for Medicare for All since our current system is so broken, unsustainable, and inhumane. They were able to give the birthday card to the Matsui staff and the staff apologized that the appointment had been cancelled. If you live in CD 7, please call our representative, Doris Matsui, to sign on the HR 3069. It has 114 Democratic co-sponsors, but the list does not include Doris Matsui. Her office phone # is 916-498-5600.

If you haven’t heard the news, CalCare has been reintroduced into the Assembly as AB 1900.
Now that the bill is introduced, it’s time to turn up the pressure. We know that legislators in Sacramento are already hearing from the for-profit health care industry. In order to drown out the industry lobbyists, we need to make it clear that there is an overwhelming amount of support for this proposal.
We’ve put together a packet containing key information that will help us showcase to every assembly member the wide level of support for CalCare. This packet includes: a brand new CalCare Poll Brief that summarizes a statewide poll that we fielded just a few weeks ago, a list of constituents in their district who support CalCare, and a list of all 270+ organizations who support CalCare.
Thank you for your support of CalCare, which has helped get us to this point. We look forward to continuing to organize with you to make CalCare a reality.
