Khatereh Abbassi
My name is Khatereh Abbassi, I’m from Westlake Village, California. I recently lost my dad four months ago. I believe the major problem with health care is everyone should have access to health care and be available and affordable to everyone. I do not believe that health care is about making profits. If it takes profit out of health care, that makes it easier for everyone to have access to health care. |
 There is Widespread Support for Reform
 81% of voters agree with the statement "it should be public policy that government guarantee that all Californians have access to affordable health care insurance or other health care coverage."

The hidden tax constitutes 17 percent of health care premiums in california and equals $455 annually for a single person's premium and $1,186 for a family's premium. Medi-Cal underfunding contributes another 7 percent to the hidden tax.
