Say no to SB 770, Protect California's Healthcare System
SB 770, introduced by Senator Wiener, aims to redirect federal funds from Medicare and Medi-Cal to an untested state-run healthcare system, potentially eliminating existing programs and leaving millions without vital healthcare. Furthermore, SB 770 could lead to a single-payer system with an estimated cost exceeding $500 billion annually, burdening individuals, employers, and small businesses with substantial taxes. Californians generally prefer their current healthcare options, and this bill's attempt to force them to abandon those for an unproven government system could disrupt access to care. The bill's temporary federal waiver and lack of detailed transition information raise concerns about future funding and access to healthcare services, especially in Medi-Cal-reliant communities. Overall, SB 770 risks limiting healthcare choices, driving professionals away and compromising care access, making opposition crucial to preserving and enhancing affordable healthcare in California.
