...Under the Affordable Care Act and Covered California, the number of uninsured in the state is at a historic low, and health care costs are not rising as fast.Last year Governor Brown signed Senator Lara’s Health4All Kids (SB 4), and the 2017-18 budget proposal includes $279.5 million to cover 185,000 children regardless of their immigration status. But a lack of insurance still affects immigrant communities, rural California, working families and young people. President Trump and Republicans in Congress have pledged to repeal the Affordable Care Act. However, they have not proposed a plan to replace it. President Trump’s executive order on repealing the Affordable Care Act states that the federal government should “provide greater flexibility to States and cooperate with them in implementing healthcare programs.” This bill will give the state that flexibility.
Call your state Senator now and tell her/him that you support SB 562.
