Ever wondered what #CA-11 candidates think about public health in CA? Well we did, so we asked: What policies, if any, do you support to address the healthcare of Californians and why? #publichealth #california #sanfrancisco (1/5)

Informational graphic with title: California's public health. Subtitle reads: We asked U.S. House of Representatives CA-11 candidates. Body text reads: Healthcare is an important resource to Californians, with publicly supported programs such as Medi-Cal providing coverage covering roughly half of all Californians, including 14.5 million low-income residents. According to the Center on Healthcare from West Health-Gallup, California has an overall healthcare grade of “C” over the categories of cost, quality, and access, with gaps in rural health coverage, environmental health threats, workforce shortages, and affordability challenges. What policies, if any, do you support to address the healthcare of Californians and why?

Information graphic that reads: California's transportation. We asked U.S. House of Representatives CA-11 candidates: Access to public transportation is associated with less air and noise pollution, fewer harmful chemicals, and overall healthier communities. However, many transit agencies, such as BART in the Bay Area, are facing financial deficits due to a decline in ridership. What policies, if any, do you support that would address California’s public transit infrastructure?
