California State Assembly members were slated to vote on single-payer health care bill Assembly Bill 1400 on Jan. 31 after it passed a series of hurdles this month. However, the bill didn’t have enough support to pass the legislative body, and lawmakers let the bill die without bringing it to a vote by the deadline.
“We are all gutted,” Amar Shergill, chairman of the Progressive Caucus and executive board member of the California Democratic Party, wrote on Twitter. “Will need a moment to absorb and recover.”
