Emergency Processions & Vigils in Fullerton & Lancaster on February 23
Ed Royce and Steve Knight refuse to meet with us, so we have to take our stories to their doorsteps.
Congressmen Royce and Knight voted to defund and repeal our country’s healthcare system without a plan to replace it. This means all of us are going to pay more for fewer benefits and less coverage.
Because Congressmen Royce and Knight voted to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 5 million in California will lose health coverage, and 334,000 in the Golden State will lose jobs.
With no coverage but the emergency room, every year, 43,956 Americans will die.

Hundreds of SEIU 721 members & partners #Fight4Health in Los Angeles!
Hundreds of Los Angeles-area health care workers, nurses, advocates, patients, and seniors were joined Tuesday by Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León and Senate Health Committee Chairman Ed Hernandez to launch a massive effort to protect Californians’ access to affordable health care. Their action came as the Trump Administration and Republican-led Congress are launching an all-out assault on health security for millions of Americans, with plans to gut the Medicare guarantee for seniors and decimate the Affordable Care Act and Medi-Cal. Health advocates promised to fight attacks on health care that that would force millions of Californians back into the ranks of the uninsured.
