Assemblymember Anthony Rendon District Office - Lakewood, California

We need single payer health care more than ever! Why did you kill it?. Single payer would save my family about $12,000/year (and who know how much if Trumpcare is enacted) I would gladly pay more taxes to support single payer because I know it will still save me so much money each year - And assure coverage to everyone!

looks like insurance companies money is more important to this man than humans lives. He knows Californians are angry with him and that is why he has disconnected his phone so no one can call him. We started getting in trouble when money became GOD to many of our politicians.

Anthony Rendon did the right thing, if single payer got passed, taxation would be doubled as it would make the state go way over budget. Businesses, (especially mom and pop shops) may go bankrupt, sales tax would increase, etc. in order to offset the 200 billion extra dollars. Healthcare will always cost something. In a society that runs on money, many things cost at least something. Single-payer might cause the healthcare itself to be free, but the price of other things will increase. There is no feasible way to use such a system without heavily increasing taxes, which should not be happening.

Phil Weston

Look, another yellow belly politician, sold to the health insurance companies, who is trying to kill Universal Health Coverage in California. Shame on you Anthony Rendon! You will be remembered comes election time, your political career is over and done. Think about that. Think long and hard

3 stars is the middle, signifying not one way or the other. Initially, I was disappointed. Upon reflection, I think the consensus forum is over-reacting. My understanding is that Rendon wants to know how this senate-passed bill of lofty principles is going to be funded, among other details. I'm socially liberal/financially skeptical, but "the tail is wagging the dog" here, with no hint at how it will be paid for. Oh, and those of you on Medicare (me!)... POOF! That would be gone! And right now, pie-in-the-sky is it's replacement.
Nothing wrong with proposing an idea, ballparking the cost, and invoking creativity to make it work. Single payer is far from dead in CA, but my mom told me to be careful about what I wish for.

Juan Beltran

Making the insurance companies more money is a high priority for this sell-out rather than helping his people get universal healthcare. What a spineless puppet. I'm done with the democratic party, they're just as bad as the republicans.

Anthony is just another crooked democrat, bought and sold by the white power and global elite. Anthony does not care about the Mexican-American community and makes political appointments to racist lawyers to be in charge of State agencies. Read my letter to this failed politician who is ripping off the Taxpayers everytime him and his worthless staffers get their paychecks. Anthony has no honor and makes no laws to stop Government oppression against Mexican-Americans and the similarily situated.

I really hate to be critical, but the letter that this politician wrote to the vice President in late March 2019 reads more like something from a first year student at a community college. I guess he was trying to be “intelligently snarky.“ If so, in my opinion, he failed.

I am not a big fan, by any stretch, of the present administration. BUT, for criticism to be effective, it needs to be graceful.

This letter gives the impression of being written by someone who has no idea of what the word “grace” even means, let alone how to go about being “graceful,” at at the same time being quite critical.
