As part of our monumental “40 Days to Health Reform” campaign, Health Care for America Now – California and our partners at Organizing for America (OFA) are working together to make sure our Central Valley Democrats understand the importance of passing quality health care reform NOW! California’s Central Valley experiences greater need for reform than most other areas, not only across the state, but the entire country. That’s why it’s imperative that the Central Valley’s Congressional members hear from constituents. And to help get the word out, we’re holding a special Central Valley Phone Bank to organize supporters throughout the Central Valley to make sure their Central Valley leaders, including Representatives Costa, Cardoza and Senators Feinstein and Boxer know exactly what the Central Valley expects from them. Click here to sign up for the Central Valley Phone Bank and help us get the word out! Over the weekend, Rep. Dennis Cardoza was quoted by the New York Times as saying that he’s currently “on the fence,” when it comes to health reform. Rep. Cardoza previously voted for the House health reform bill, but “with serious reservations.” But California, and the Central Valley in particular, can’t afford the status quo. California’s Central Valley region is a major front in this historic battle. But we can’t do it alone. We need dedicated supporters just like you to help get the word out. So please, sign up to volunteer for the Central Valley Phone Bank and help us make health reform a reality in 2010! After you sign up, we’ll follow-up with further instructions, including how to use our online call-list and a phone script to help you get the conversations started. And be sure to keep visiting the “40 Days to Health Reform” Action Center regularly for future action alerts from HCAN-CA. Together, we will make a difference in the lives of millions!

They all Matter ! I got this in my email today…. Thank you for writing to me via a MoveOn petition regarding the need to include a public option in health care reform legislation. In the future, if you would like to write to me directly, I encourage you to visit my Senate website at http://boxer.senate.gov/en/contact/policycomments.cfm I have long supported the idea of a public option to introduce competition in the health insurance market and contain health care costs. That is why I recently signed a letter authored by Senator Michael Bennet that calls on Majority Leader Reid to include a public option in health care reform legislation. There is widespread agreement that we must reform our health insurance system, which is bankrupting our government and our families. The status quo is no longer sustainable. Thousands of Americans lose their insurance every day while thousands more are denied coverage. If we do nothing, 45 percent of an average family’s income will go towards health insurance premiums in 2016. And without action, Medicare will be broke by 2017. As you may know, the House of Representatives passed health care reform legislation in November 2009, and the Senate passed its version in December 2009. Recently, President Obama offered his own draft of this legislation, which incorporates aspects of both the House and Senate bills. Tomorrow, President Obama will hold a bipartisan summit on comprehensive health insurance reform. I strongly believe that we must seize this opportunity to move forward on health care reform, and I hope that we can. I will continue to fight for health care reform for Californians and all Americans. Again, thank you for writing to me. Please feel free to contact me again at Sincerely, Barbara Boxer » Posted By PatsyT On February 24, 2010 @ 12:01 pm True Majority has info on that http://www.truemajority.org/index.php Lots of things to take action on http://hcanca.org/?page_id=411 » Posted By PatsyT On February 23, 2010 @ 9:57 pm This is a winner ! » Posted By PatsyT On February 23, 2010 @ 7:33 pm Nellie, Thanks so much for this… small world ….

_______________________
DeVore declared his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by three-term Democratic senator Barbara Boxer.[13] DeVore’s campaign posted two parodies of two songs by Don Henley, “After the Hope of November is Gone” (after “The Boys of Summer”) and “All She Wants to Do is Tax.”(after “All She Wants to Do Is Dance”) on YouTube in April 2009. Don Henley and Henley’s producer filed suit and YouTube removed them. DeVore filed a counter-claim and restored one of the videos to YouTube for several months before additional legal action took it down.[14][15][16] By November 2009, DeVore had made over 200 campaign events focusing on Boxer and the November 2010 elections, raising almost $1 million from 16,000 donors.[17] [18] [19] [20]
At the start of November 2009, his new opponent, Carly Fiorina has been suggesting that, despite the fact that DeVore was garnering endorsements such as from Sen. Jim DeMint and almost 60 percent of California’s elected Republican officials, including Rep. Tom McClintock, that he lacked the name recognition to provide her with a serious challenge in the primaries. But several polls showed DeVore and Fiorina effectively tied for the Republican nomination, including an L.A. Times/USC poll released on November 8, 2009. Carly Fiorina’s campaign has also been endorsed by 2008 Presidential Candidate, John McCain. On January 13, Former Congressman Tom Campbell also announced his candidancy for the Republician nomination

Attorney General Brown Subpoenas Health Insurers
Brown subpoenaed records from Aetna Health, Anthem Blue Cross, CIGNA, Health Net, Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Permanente, and PacifiCare to look into potential violations of the state’s unfair competition and false advertising laws.
“We have been looking at these companies for a number of months and are very concerned that some of them are unjustly raising premiums and denying payment of legitimate claims,” Brown said in a statement.
Anthem Blue Cross announced earlier this month that it planned to increase premium rates by as much as 39 percent for some members. Brown said his investigation will look into whether the other insurers are planning similar rate hikes, and whether Anthem’s rate increases are legal.
“Not only are the rate increases devastating to Californians strapped by the economy, but in same cases, they are possibly illegal,” he said

Last summer I drove to her office in San Diego to pay a visit and
express my desire for Health Care Reform with the Public Option.
Her staff was fantastic, there was a processional of other voters coming and going
with the same purpose.
It felt great to be a part of that.
Everyone keep up the great work-
The Letters
The Calls
The Signing of Petitions
