Ahhh yes - remember those dreams of single payer ? I had forgotten all about them. The public option was supposed to be the second-choice compromise.

Maybe you don't want to fax THEIR message. But you need to somehow get in touch with YOUR senators to let them know how you feel !

Hey, why should I stick with "my" Senators? Because yanno what? I can contribute... Oh, yes indeedy I can! ... to any progressive running against them in the primaries. 'Cause money crosses state lines, even if my vote doesn't.

And telling 'em so is just fair warning, in my book!

SACRAMENTO -- The California Senate voted 22 to 14 to pass Senate Bill 810, the California Universal Health Care Act. Authored by State Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) SB 810 would enact a system of comprehensive, universal health care for every Californian.

State Senator Pat Wiggins, one of the bill's co-authors, said the bill will head to the state assembly.

"If approved by both houses of the Legislature and signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, SB 810 would establish a single-payer' health care system to provide coverage to all 37 million Californians," Wiggins said.

Will Federal Money Be Used for this ?

Does California have enough money to do this on their own ? I thought the state was broke?
