Without Universal Health Care, Long Term There Will Not Be Affordable Health Care in California
After a three month lull the fight for universal health care in California is once more on the table, and NASRO is bringing all our expertise from working for reform in Massachusetts to the campaign that will benefit our members.
CONGRATUATIONS TO CALIFORNIA SPEAKER ELECT KAREN BASS OF LOS ANGELES
The year 2008 can still be the year of real health care reform and progress on many other issues with the election of a former small business owner, physician's assistant and a tireless advocate for the 80,000 foster children in California, Karen Bass. NASRO is confident she will be the leader we need to get real health care reform started and passed in California. She will carry on the good work started by Speaker Fabian Nunez, who was term limited from running for office again.
Pictured recently with Speaker-Elect Karen Bass is Senator Barak Obama of Illinois, the leading candidate to become the nominee of the Democratic Party for President of the United States
IMPORTANT NEWS - January 29, 2008, California Health Care Reform Plan Defeated in Senate Committee. Once again the insurance industry wins and Californians lose.
No matter what the California Senate Health Care Committee members say is their reason for voting down the health care reform bill, the organizations who benefit the most from that vote are the same type of insurance companies like the one fined $1.33 billion on January 28th by the state government for not paying Californians health insurance claims on a timely basis or not at all ( PacifiCare/United Healthcare).
This decision is outrageous. Nothing gets done reforming an industry as large as health care without compromise. The Governor and the Sate Assembly were willing to undertake the heavy lifting to reach a compromise where our members small businesses, the self employed, individuals and employees would have greatly benefited. Many people like to think of California as one of the top economies in the world. If we look at the state that way, then we must also see we rank at the bottom when it comes to providing our people with affordable and accessible health insurance/ health care. We are fifteen years behind Massachusetts for example, where no person has been turned down for health insurance by the insurance companies in twelve years.
The most immediate help a new President of the United States can bring to us all with health care is to support those states that have started the journey to universal health care. It is sad to think that California will not be ready to receive that help.
Please call California Senate President, Don Perata at 916-651-4009, in Sacramento, tell him your story and ask him to support the health care reform program of the Assembly and the Governor and to allow a vote by the entire Senate on this issue. For some organizations the failure of this bill is just another day at the office. For NASRO members and millions of Californians this is an on going tragedy.

Health Insurance Plans
• NASRO does not have a group health plan that will cover people who have recently been turned down for coverage. But we are working on it. We need associations, employer groups and individuals to sign on for a proposed new group plan. The group plans that used to exist have been all but eliminated, which is why NASRO is working hard for California health care reform to be enacted this fall.
• NASRO does have individual plans available from a wide choice of carriers
•
Employer groups and self employed people are now free to join NASRO at no cost. With its growing numbers NASRO is leveraging our membership to change the economics of California health insurance. Membership is confidential and not subject to distribution to any outside groups.
