Mission and programs · 2025
Primary exempt purpose
The goal of the organization is to liberate California from the stranglehold of the health insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry, to end the opaque and exorbitant pricing practices, and to deliver guaranteed healthcare to all of our state's residents with a single-payer system.
-
In 2025, Healthy California Now successfully coordinated engagement with CalHHS and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research on the development of a report on pathways to unified financing, written by UCLA researchers. We convened policy experts to provide guidance on the report, and reactions to initial drafts. We also participated in education and issue advocacy on the impacts of the healthcare budget cuts implemented through the federal bill, HR 1. We participated in letter-writing campaigns, forums, coalition meetings and conducted our own education events among affiliates. We also offered support for legislation addressing disparities in behavioral health services in California.We operate through our affiliate organizations, so they are the source of volunteers, rather than HCN directly, with the exception of Board members who volunteer their time.
