"We are not gonna give up on our patients," said California Nurses Association president Sandy Reding."We are there when they take their first breath, we are there when they take their last breath. We will prevail."California progressives on Monday expressed shock and outrage as a bill that, if passed, would have delivered single-payer healthcare coverage to the nation's most populous state was withdrawn from a highly anticipated floor vote in the state Assembly.
Kalra issued a statement explaining that"it became clear that we did not have the votes necessary for passage and I decided the best course of action is to not put A.B. 1400 for a vote today." "We will continue to fight... so that we can make sure it goes through the next time," she continued."We have never gotten this far before, and we are not gonna give up on our patients, we are not gonna give up on our communities. We are there when they take their first breath, we are there when they take their last breath.
