This commission, which replaces the Council on Health Care Delivery Systems, has just been passed by the Legislature and signed into law (SB 104, section 4). Its purpose is to develop “a plan for advancing progress toward achieving a health care delivery system for California that provides coverage and access through a unified financing system, including, but not limited to a single payer financing system, for all Californians.”

An Issue Resource Chair, previously known as Item Chair, is a member who focuses on learning and being a resource person for the League about a given topic (such as Gun Violence Prevention or Climate Change). By having one team, or even one person, specializing in the action and advocacy of each topic, we have the opportunity to respond and understand far more issues.

This is our June/July newsletter, with upcoming meetings (Annual Meeting!), reports on activities (Voter Education, Observer Corps), Advocacy updates and much much more. Read it all!
