About Us

Health Care For All-Santa Cruz is the local chapter of Health Care for All-California, a state-wide grassroots working to provide universal single-payer health insurance for all Californians. We are volunteers who have had enough of our failing health care system. Our members come from all walks of life--doctors, nurses, students, workers, parents, and retirees.

What do we do?

California’s health insurance system is in crisis. Over 6 million uninsured Californians can’t afford the medical care they need, skyrocketing premiums are unaffordable for workers and businesses alike, and most insurance policies will not protect families from financial ruin. This is how big insurance is reaping banner profits.

We live in the only industrialized nation that doesn’t guarantee healthcare for all its citizens—a problem that cannot be fixed with cosmetic surgery. The solution is to  provide universal single-payer health insurance for all Californians.

Right now we are working to educate the public and contact our lawmakers to support California SB-840, the California Universal Healthcare Act. Within our website, you'll find lots of information about how and why our health care system is failing us, how a universal single-payer system would fix these problems, and—most importantly—what you can do to help.
