AI Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency to research, develop, and pursue discussions with the federal government to create a unified health care financing system in California. The proposed system would provide a comprehensive package of medical, behavioral health, pharmaceutical, dental, and vision benefits, with no cost-sharing for essential services. The bill requires the Secretary to engage stakeholders, provide interim and final reports to the Legislature, and submit a formal waiver application to the federal government to implement this unified financing system. The goal is to establish a health care system that is accessible, affordable, equitable, and high-quality for all Californians.
