[Brian Good]

  Before the week is out, the California Senate will vote on SB 810, the state's 
single-payer health care plan.  The California Nurses Association and the 
League of Women Voters support this bill.

  I called Senator Joe Simitian's office this morning, and the young man there said
he did not know how Sen. Simitian will vote.  

  Senator Mark Leno (SF) introduced the bill, and Senators Alquist (San Jose) and Corbett (Hayward) are already on board as co-authors.

  If you are in Senator Simitian's district (Palo Alto, Los Altos, Stanford, Los Altos Hills,
Cupertino, South and SE San Jose, San Gregorio, Davenport, Ben Lomond, Boulder Creek) please call his office at 650.688.6384 to ask that he vote for single payer health care in California, and that he sign on as a co-author.

Local Assembly co-authors include the following:

Tom Ammiano District 13 San Francisco

Jim Beall District 24 San Jose

Joe Coto District 23 San Jose

Paul Fong District 22 Mountain View

Mary Hayashi District 18 Hayward

Fiona Ma District 12 San Francisco

Ira Ruskin District 21 Los Altos

Alberto Torrico District 20 Fremont
