Health Care for All--Santa Cruz Chapter

 

 

Supporters

SB-840 has been endorsed by a diverse range of individuals, community groups, and professional organizations, as well as nurses and doctors. The list grows every day.

The opposition, on the other hand, comes almost exclusively from a small but powerful group of corporate interests such as insurance companies, for-profit hospitals, and the California Chamber of Commerce. Simply put, they're more interested in protecting their profits than fixing health care.

If you know of an organization that should sponsor the bill but isn't on the list, contact us and we can arrange to give a presentation. After the endorsement is made, the group must print out this letter and mail it to Senator Kuehl's office to make it official. Groups that previously endorsed SB-921 must make a new endorsement for SB-840.
