Bill > AB2200

This bill, the California Guaranteed Health Care for All Act, would create the California Guaranteed Health Care for All program, or CalCare, to provide comprehensive universal single-payer health care coverage and a health care cost control system for the benefit of all residents of the state. CalCare would be governed by the CalCare Board, which would have all powers and duties necessary to establish and implement CalCare. The bill would provide that CalCare cover a wide range of medical benefits and other services, and would incorporate health care benefits and standards of other existing federal and state provisions, including Medi-Cal and Medicare. The bill would provide for automatic enrollment in CalCare and prohibit discrimination in the provision of health care services. The bill would also establish an Office of Health Equity within CalCare to ensure health equity, and would create funding mechanisms, including the CalCare Trust Fund, to fund the program. The bill would require the board to seek federal waivers and approvals to allow various existing federal health care payments to be paid to CalCare.
