DESCRIPTION:CalCare - Let's Unite to Guarantee Health Care for All 
 Californians!\n\nOrganizer: Nurses' Campaign to Win CalCare\n\nOnline 
 organizing meeting: Jan 13, 2026 @ 6 PM PT\n\nRSVP: 
 https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FMvZN_dgT8G329Ea1dchtw#/registration\n\nYou 
 do not need to be a nurse to join this meeting.  This movement is for 
 EVERYONE to stand up and fight for guaranteed health care for all. Anyone 
 may join in the meeting.\n\n\nIn 2025, Donald Trump and the GOP launched a 
 devastating attack on our already fragile health care system.\n\nAs a 
 result, this year:\n\n❌ Tens of millions of people across the United 
 States risk losing their health insurance.\n\n❌ Premiums for Affordable 
 Care Act plans are skyrocketing because Congressional Republicans refused 
 to extend tax credits.\n\n❌ Hundreds of hospitals are at risk of closure, 
 especially in rural communities.\n\nBut California can fight back with 
 CalCare!\n\nWe’re kicking off 2026 and the new state legislative session 
 with a Statewide Call to announce our plans to reintroduce CalCare 
 legislation and launch our campaign to pass universal, guaranteed health 
 care for every Californian.\n\nThe urgency for action has never been 
 greater. As premiums rise, hospitals close, and millions more are directly 
 impacted by the deepening health care crisis, CalCare presents the best 
 opportunity for us to stand up to Trump and tackle the health care crisis 
 in California.\n\nJoin our movement of thousands of activists, volunteers, 
 and supporters who are fighting for a single-payer health care system that 
 prioritizes patients over profits.\n\n\nWhat is 
 CalCare?\n\nhttps://www.nationalnursesunited.org/sites/default/files/nnu/documents/0321_CalCare_GeneralPrinciples_Flyer.pdf\n\nCalifornia 
 Guaranteed Health Care For All (CalCare) is the solution to our broken 
 health care system. It will guarantee health care as a human right in the 
 state of California by providing comprehensive, high quality health care to 
 all, just like Medicare for All would do nationally. \n\nUNIVERSAL COVERAGE 
 Everybody in, nobody out. Everybody, regardless of race, \nsex, gender, 
 country of origin, disability status, immigration status, marital status, 
 age, \nand income, gets the care they need regardless of ability to pay. 
 \n\nA SINGLE PUBLIC PROGRAM A single payer, publicly funded through 
 progressive \ntaxation, to cover all necessary care in California, 
 eliminating billions in bloat and waste \nand saving people thousands on 
 their health care costs. \n\nFULLY COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS Includes medical, 
 dental, hearing, vision, \nmental health, prescription drugs, long term 
 care, and more. All decisions about care \nwould be made between you and 
 your doctors and nurses, not insurance companies. \n\nFREEDOM TO CHOOSE 
 YOUR CARE PROVIDER Under CalCare, there would be \nno more “in network” 
 or “out of network.” You would have the freedom to choose any \ndoctor 
 or hospital you’d like. \n\nFREE AT THE POINT OF SERVICE No more copays, 
 premiums, or deductibles.  \nYou arrive at the doctor’s office, show them 
 your CalCare card, and get the care you \nneed. It’s that simple! 
 \n\nJUST TRANSITION Funding and programs to protect and support any 
 displaced \nworkers in the insurance industry. \n\nPATIENT CARE BASED ON 
 PATIENT NEED  No more financial incentives to avoid \nproviding necessary 
 care, including “value-based” payment models for providers\n\n
