State assemblymembers amend CalCare, a bill for universal healthcare. Despite backing from hundreds of organizations across its many iterations, the legislation has been unable to pass. “I do this work out of a moral obligation. We are all volunteers. We do this in our spare time. There is no money we receive or will ever receive from this. There’s nothing for us to gain except giving everyone healthcare as a human right,” said Erika Feresten, co-founder and chair of Health Care for US.
