Calculate How Much
Guaranteed Healthcare
Could Save You!

Governor Newsom's Healthy California for All Commission found that over ten years, publicly funded guaranteed health care could save Californians $500 billion and more than 40,000 lives. This calculator provides estimates of the savings you could receive if we enact a "unified healthcare financing system" (or single payer), to cover all medically necessary care with no premiums, co-payments, or deductibles.

Transitioning to a single payer unified financing system would require permission from the federal government via a "waiver." Governor Newsom has been an advocate for universal healthcare since the beginning of his candidacy, and new legislation will help him achieve this vital goal.

The Healthy California Now coalition has worked with Senator Scott Wiener to introduce SB 770, which would require our state to finally take this crucial first step toward achieving guaranteed healthcare for ALL Californians — by implementing mandatory timelines, procedures and reporting requirements for the waiver process.
