California should pursue every strategy possible to keep eligible residents connected to care. #CALeg: The #PATH4Care proposal provides a lower-cost statewide alternative that helps reduce coverage loss & limits the need to rebuild large-scale county indigent care systems. @dawnaddis.bsky.social

CA lost much of its indigent care system after ACA expansion. Now, 1M+ Californians could lose coverage under H.R. 1 — but Gov’s #MayRevise proposed no $$ to rebuild county indigent care infrastructure. #CALeg: adopt #PATH4Care to keep people covered. www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

As our federal government slashes public health infrastructure funding and as people lose coverage due to H.R. 1, CA’s investments in Future of Public Health are even more critical for state emergency response. #CALeg: Protect #FoPH to maintain our state's preparedness before the next crisis! #NPHW

Gutted to hear about Rob & Michelle Reiner. Many will note his film career, but as a Californian, I’d like to honor his commitment to CA children. Millions of dollars invested statewide in early childhood initiatives. He made a huge impact on our state’s children. May his memory be a blessing.
