“For too long, Americans have been stuck in a cycle of political theater that has kept millions locked in fear and uncertainty over losing access to affordable care.”
Opinion: California, it’s time to get serious about single-payer health care
East Bay Times. Andrew McGuire. August 11, 2017.
In his op-ed, Andrew McGuire calls on California to take a leadership role on the issue of healthcare reform.
It is time for the great state of California to get serious about future-forward solutions such as single-payer health care, also known as “Medicare for all.” In fact, we have a unique opportunity to rally the nation on this progressive cause, especially because such a system is within our reach.
Andrew McGuire is executive director of California OneCare, a campaign to establish a “Medicare for All” type health insurance for all state residents.
