Even as Latine Heritage Month comes to a close, we continue to celebrate the history, culture, and power of California's Latine communities. This month and every day, we must center Latine voices, histories, and contributions in the fight for #healthequity 💛💙

Despite the #CABudget delaying cuts to Medi-Cal Dental, millions of immigrant Californians are still (rightfully) worried about what's coming next year - and losing trust in our health care system. Our Senior Policy Manager, Ruqayya Ahmad, shares more in @pubhealthwatch.bsky.social:
publichealthwatch.org
California Delayed Medi-Cal Dental Cuts for Immigrants, But Worry and Confusion Persist - Public Health Watch
The planned cuts sent immigrants scrambling for last-minute dental care. Now, many remain unclear about whether they still have dental coverage, or firmly believe it will end next year.

Protecting Californians' health - and pocketbooks - requires holding the hospital industry accountable for skyrocketing health care costs. When a quarter of every dollar we spend on health care isn't used to make us healthier, we (literally) can't afford not to.

The state's new penalty framework could fine hospitals and insurers up to 125% of overspending, with enforcement starting as early as 2028.
