Switch California to Single-Payer Health Care

Switch California to a single-payer health care system using the provision within The Affordable Health Care Act, just as Vermont has already done, in order to greatly reduce the burden on taxpayers.

Why is this important?

As the Affordable Health Care Act (AHCA aka "ObamaCare") operates currently, all of the insurance companies have been kept in place, & as taxpayers we are paying these insurance companies because the Federal Government was in a tight position, & didn't have the power to "throw the insurance companies under the bus".

Fortunately, the Fed still looked out for us, & included a provision that allows states to CHOOSE to go single-payer (to bypass the insurance companies & put tax $$$ directly into paying for health care rather than paying insurance middlemen).

Vermont has already switched over- which will save us ALL millions of dollars. NOW, it is time that we return he favour, because *technically* Vermont is still paying for every other state who has NOT switched.

Switching California to a single-payer system will save millions of much-needed dollars dunng these hard economic times, & will set a leading example for other states to do the same so that our nation can re-allocate this money to other needed places.
