SB921

SB921 (Kuehl) This bill would establish the California Health Care System to be administered by the newly created Health Care Agency under the control of an elected Health Care Commissioner. The bill would make all California residents eligible for specified health care benefits under the California Health Care System, which would, on a single-payer basis, negotiate for or set fees for health care services provided through the system and pay claims for those services. The bill would prohibit deductibles or copayments during the initial first 2 years of operation of the health care system, but would authorize the commissioner to establish deductibles and copayments thereafter.
