by Single Payer Now
SB 810, the single payer healthcare bill in the California Senate, needs just 2 more votes from the 5 abstainers listed below to pass before January 31, 2012. SB 810 is the only real solution to the healthcare crisis that saves the state billions, guarantees healthcare for all Californians, and controls costs, while eliminating the denials of care and restrictions of provider choice imposed by private insurance companies.

No matter where you live, you can and should call. We need 5,000 calls immediately. Thursday, Jan 26, 2012's SB 810 Floor Vote was: 19 YES to 14 NO. We need 21 votes to win, so we are 2 short. Please call all 5 TODAY.

SB 810 is not dead but currently "on call" until the January 31st deadline, which means we, the people of California, need your help to get the Senators who didn't vote at all to vote yes. Next Tuesday is the absolute deadline to shore up two more votes or the bill dies!!!
