Casey and Dan speak with Andrew McGuire the Executive Director of California One Care. Andrew talks about the founding coalition and the campaign that is under way to pass SB 810, State Senator Mark Leno’s legislation for Single Payer Health Insurance for ALL Californians. Andrew has created an amazing campaign that includes a new 30-second spot every day for 365 days. These ads feature proponents of “single payer” doing their own ads. Anyone can submit an ad and so far there have been ordinary folk like you and me, and celebrities such as Lily Tomlin, AKA Ernestine and Paula Poundstone just to name a few. Don’t miss this great discussion. For more information on California One Care and how you too can make your own commercial, go to www.californiaonecare.org or visit our website at www.nursetalksite.com.

A very touching and insightful conversation with RN Tim Thomas, just returned from Haiti where he volunteered on the U.S.S. Comfort. Tim talks about his experience and how he would go back in a minute. He is full of gratitude for the extraordinary opportunity to serve such appreciative people. Tim was among the first of thousands of RNs who will be going to Haiti over the next months and years. The RN Response Network and National Nurses United are heading up this important task.
