Sheila Kuehl, who authored the California Universal Healthcare Act. SB840, will be interviewed on Earth Wise, KPFZ, 88.1, Friday at 5 p.m.
“In her 14 years in the State Legislature, Senator Kuehl authored 171 bills that were signed into law.
Beginning in 2003, she led the fight in the legislature to achieve true universal health care in California, and, in 2006, and again in 2008, brought SB 840, the California Universal Healthcare Act, to the Governor”s desk, the first time in U.S. history a single-payer healthcare bill had gone so far.
Undaunted by its veto both times, Kuehl is continuing to work with advocates statewide and nationally to bring universal, affordable, quality health care to all Californians,” from her biography at www.sheilakuehl.org/about-sheila-2.
SB 840 is still “on the table” in Sacramento and is awaiting a vote in the Assembly.
Any questions you may have for Kuehl may be e-mailed to showland2@mchsi.com or Chloe Karl, omack@pacific.net.
The taped interview may be heard again on Monday at 8 p.m.
