- Title
Single Payer: The California Referendum.
- Authors
Fields, Joseph A.; Kramer, Jeffrey; Poole, Barbara S.
- Abstract
The California Health Security Act is likely to appear on the November 1994 ballot. The bill would provide universal coverage to California residents and assign the state as the single payer for all medical care provided, financed with funding for programs already in practice, employer payroll taxes, individual income taxes and taxes on tobacco products. This article reviews the content of the bill and comments on the potential structural changes that the bill's language will impose on California's health care system.
