DESCRIPTION:Tuesday, January 18, 1 PM, SF Gray Panther Zoom Meeting: "Opportunities and 
 Dangers for Medicare and Guaranteed Healthcare in California". \n\nThe 
 Opportunities: California's Guaranteed Healthcare for All bill, AB 1400. 
 This single-payer/Medicare-for-All state bill was bottled up during 2021. 
 In 2022, it must pass the entire Assembly by January 31, 2022, a very short 
 time span. It took the first step this week with your help: Over 250 people 
 attended the Assembly Health Committee hearing online and it passed (11-3)! 
  California single-payer advocates are making an all-out effort to pass 
 this bill.  Ellen Karel, chair of Health Care for All California (HCA),  
 will talk about this effort and how we can help.\n\nThe Danger:  The 
 government plans to transfer the sickest traditional Medicare patients to 
 private plans, Direct Contracting Entities, that profit by denying 
 healthcare to vulnerable older and disabled people and will generate big 
 profits by denying care and charging Medicare inflated prices.  Ana 
 Malinow, past president of Physicians for a National Health Plan (PNHP), 
 will talk about the dangers of DCEs, had how we can fight them.\n
