This graphic by California Nurses Association exposes the lies of neoliberal Democrats who have repeatedly refused to advance CalCare as a policy framework bill. This also applies to Healthy California Now's spearheading of "unified financing" cover for insurers via SB 770. @hc4us.bsky.social

Graphic explaining the process to implement CalCare. Implementing CalCare requires a multi-step process -- that begins with passing policy legislation -- that is outlined in federal law. The CalCare system will not be implemented until all of these steps are completed.
1. Pass a policy bill into law; 2. Prepare to seek Federal Funds; 3. Federal waiver process; 4. State Financing; 5. CalCare System begins.

The Bottom Line: A state cannot apply for federal health care waivers for CalCare until state single-payer policy legislation is signed into law; Financing the system comes after the waiver application process, at which point the remaining revenue needed to fund CalCare will be known; CalCare does not begin until fully funded. CalCare does not need to be fully financed in order to pass AB 1900; AB 1900 was the enabling policy legislation for CalCare, creating the CalCare Board and authorizing it to apply for federal health care waivers. AB 1900 is the first of a multi-step process to implement CalCare, as outlined in federal law. - California Nurses Association; www.CalNurses.org

Let's see if the Democratic Party trifecta supermajority will do anything other than give lip service support for a single-payer policy framework bill, #AB1900

The Democratic Party has a supermajority in CA, the fourth largest economy in the world, but Newsom has led the blockage of #CalCare reform twice already, choosing to side with private insurance companies instead of the people in need of health care. #AB1900 @hc4us.bsky.social @cusp-hq.bsky.social

CalCare is currently a POLICY FRAMEWORK bill. The Democratic Party supermajority is going to lie to the public and attempt to kill it based upon claiming it to be a burden on the State Budget again. CalCare is a COST-SAVINGS proposal with bipartisan support. Send reps a message: Advance CalCare!

Polling is On Our Side (CalCare) - February 2026 - New statewide poll shows that CA voters support major health care reform and a state-single payer system

-Nearly 2/3 of all voters (64%) say CA's health care system needs major reforms
-42% of voters say it's gotten harder to afford healthc are in the past several years
-33% percent of voters have skipped or delayed care due to cost
-A supermajority of Democratic voters (86%) support a proposal for a single-payer system in CA
-Half of all voters and 76% of Democrats would be more likely to support a candidate for Governor if they were to run on creating a single-payer system.

The Democratic Party in CA killed a state single-payer framework bill in 2024. Biden opposed Medicare-for-All. Now, these fascist-enabling Democrat Senators want to make peace with mass murder. There seems to be some consistency here.

Two posts by @qasimrashid.com:

(1st post) More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files.

This is example of why we can't have nice things.

(2nd post) Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.

If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.

We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

Single-payer healthcare reform means getting rid of private insurance corporation gatekeeping from the system. The only purpose the insurers serve is to commodify human health and extract massive profits. It is a criminal operation supported by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Trump's bill to grant $74 billion to expand ICE surveillance, abductions and incarceration of undocumented workers, legal residents of the U.S. (and natural-born citizens) is a grave danger to senior citizens as 30% of caregivers in the U.S. are immigrants. #STOPHR1

H.R. 1 will codify Trump's removal of regulation guardrails on AI. Section 601 of H.R. 1 essentially gives AI firms immunity from state oversight, allowing them to operate with relative freedom across the country. This may have implication for healthcare. medium.com/@lextrackai/...

Graph addressing profiteering implications of HR1's removal of Artificial Intelligence guardrails, showing data from 2023 U.S. Senate subcommittee report revealing United Healthcare's claim denial rate jumping to 32% in 2023, twice the industry's average of 16%. The increase was linked to the nH Predict AI model developed by its subsidiary NaviHealth, which often overrode physicians and prematurely ended rehabilitation coverag, leaving patients to pay out-of-pocket or abandon treatment altogether.

Eu·gen·ics 1. the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable...eugenics was increasingly discredited as unscientific and racially biased - especially after the adoption of its doctrines by the Nazis..

A post on X by @Nicole_Lee_Sch "Hey all of these things are examples of a eugenics playbook in action: 1. Normalizing epidemic diseases; 2. Removing proven drug therapies from market; 3. Claiming disabled people can "work out" to restore health; 4. institutionalizing ppl in "health"camps; 5. Cutting back SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program); 6. Targeting IEPs (Individualized Education Programs); 7. Refusing to track disease outbreaks; 8. Firing healthcare professionals; 9. Claiming some disabilities should be eradicated (like autism); 10. Cutting clinical trial research in progress.

The current admin has done all of these in the last two weeks. You need to see it for what it is - it IS eugenics. They ARE framing disabled people as unfit for resources, education employment and care.
