Santa Barbara rally backs Medicare For All, California health care bill
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A group of more than 30 people gathered outside the Santa Barbara County Courthouse on Saturday to show support for the Medicare for All movement and AB-1400, a bill in the California legislature that would introduce a single-payer healthcare system across the state in order to cover all Californians.
The activists carried signs and argue that the current for-profit health care system is broken and unequal and that too many people are unable to afford the care they need. They also point to other developed countries that are able to afford such a system, with citizens who enjoy better health care.
