Thank you to @casendems.bsky.social for continuing to stand up for health care consumers & patients with their State Budget "Fair Share" plan that raises needed revenue to backfill some of the harms caused by Trump's attacks on our care.

@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social is proposing to cut care for the members of our community who are struggling the most in his #CAbudget. Now is the time to get loud and fight back for #Health4All! Help us make sure #CAleg hears our plea; send a letter secure.everyaction.com/QREQvJfxZUio...

We still have the time to act by: 🫱🏿‍🫲🏼 supporting organizations like @healthaccess.bsky.social + Caimmigrant.bsky.social whose advocacy fights for healthcare access and disability protections ☎️ contacting our legislators so they can advocate for more healthcare funding ✍️ submitting public comments

Health care should be protected — not cut. Californians need affordable coverage, not more barriers to care. Send a letter urging Assembly leaders to reject harmful health care cuts in the state budget. ✊ secure.everyaction.com/nn9YBhnpCEqF...

Immigrant rights advocates rally for more state healthcare funding, criticize Newsom

Despite a stronger #CAbudget outlook, @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social's May Revise continues discriminatory cuts to health care for low-income Californians & fails to meet the need for revenue to backfill Trump's harmful health care cuts. Picked up in @latimes.com, our statement: bit.ly/3Pr7Fdl

TODAY: May #CAbudget Revision proposed by @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social continues to target immigrants, low-income families, older adults, and disabled people even as he touts a rosier budget outlook. The #Health4All coalition calls on #CAleg to REJECT these cuts: bit.ly/4uJ96CX

New @chcfnews.bsky.social poll: 59% of Californians without a primary care provider—and 64% who've skipped care due to cost—have little or no trust in the health system. These results are a call to action: Building a health care system Californians trust means making care affordable and accessible.

On May 19th, join #OurHealthOurFuture and #Health4All for a budget advocacy rally at the Capitol to defend Medi-Cal. Let’s get loud in community and stand up for a #CABudget that reflects our values and protects health for ALL Californians. Register ➡️ bit.ly/OHOFRally

#Health4All thanks @casendems.bsky.social for rejecting / delaying many of the harmful cuts proposed in @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social 's Jan. budget. We urge them to protect the health of even more Californians & roll back the freeze on Medi-Cal for our undocumented community members.

Health care advocates urge CA lawmakers to protect access to gender-affirming care amid uncertainty over federal policy. At a recent budget hearing, speakers requested $26M to keep care covered under Medi-Cal & stabilize provider networks. #HealthCare #MediCal #LGBTQHealth @healthaccess.bsky.social

Asked about the challenges of ending the Medi-Cal freeze, Senator Durazo said, “We’re going to keep at it. We’re not going to back off.” “This is a legacy the governor should be proud of, having extended [health coverage] to so many people" #Health4All www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Health care costs shouldn’t grow faster than wages. California’s Office of Health Care Affordability is working to slow rising costs—but they need to hear from patients and consumers. 📅 April 22 🕙 10 AM Submit your comment: secure.everyaction.com/5HKnhNe3LEy1...

“When employers spend more on health insurance, there is less money available for wages. Rising premiums are, in effect, a hidden pay cut for working families.” Read more in this op-ed on how the state’s Office of Health Care Affordability can help slow the rising cost of care:

Opinion | California family premiums have been growing at 7% per year — well above the Office of Health Care Affordability’s approved spending growth limits of 3.5% in 2025, declining to 3% by 2029. cal.news/4dzI5N8 📝 Glenn Melnick 📸 Apu Gomes

This year, the #Health4All Coalition is fighting to: ✔️ Reverse harmful cuts made last year ✔️ Stop new, proposed attacks on Medi-Cal for immigrants ✔️ Protect care for everyone, regardless of immigration status Swipe to see what’s at stake. When we show up together, we protect each other.

We support #SB1422 — the Medi-Cal Access Restoration Act, by #Health4All champion, Senator María Elena Durazo. Alongside co-sponsors Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, @healthaccess.bsky.social, @caimmigrant.bsky.social, & the #Health4All coalition, we advocate to end the freeze on Medi-Cal.

These anti-immigrant policies harm communities, create more uninsured Californians, and push people into already-impacted ERs for basic care. Everyone benefits when everyone is covered, by stabilizing the health care system we ALL rely on. From @latimes.com #Health4All

#RepDavidValadao pointed to a $500B fund for rural hospitals in H.R. 1 to cover his horrible vote. But the bill cuts $30B from CA's health system. Our state got just $233M from this fund for our hosptials. He created the problem and his "fix" won't come close to fixing it.

“His vote really twisted my decision to never let this guy in office ever again,” said one Central Valley resident

Premiums up. Medi-Cal under threat. 4 million Californians at risk. While this year's #ACA birthday is a little blue, we can still make it better in CA by investing in our health care system to prevent the worst of Trump’s cuts. secure.everyaction.com/ZP94nDhj9EKa...

16 years ago today, President @barackobama.bsky.social and Democrats in Congress took on one of the toughest fights in a generation - and won. Here's the moment the Affordable Care Act passed, granting 40 million people access to health care.

El presupuesto de enero de @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social continua a dañar a la comunidad inmigrante y llevarlos más lejos de nuestras metas de #Health4All. Digale a su legislador que estos recortes no solo son números, son daños reales. secure.everyaction.com/Y8g31KvugUe2...

The @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social’s January #CAbudget continues to harm immigrants in our communities and takes us further from our #Health4All goals. Tell your Legislator - these cuts aren’t just numbers, they are real harm for real people. secure.everyaction.com/QREQvJfxZUio...

Cuts to #Health4All proposed by @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social—both in this year's budget & last year's—are making Medi-Cal unequal, as undocumented immigrants are being cut off from services. “They’ll be paying more for worse & more precarious coverage,” said our policy director, Diana Douglas.

Talking to @calmatters.org, our @rachellg83.bsky.social says while CA Gov candidates discuss single-payer, “we also want to see short-term solutions: how they are going to start on Day One to protect Medi-Cal, Covered California, coverage for immigrants and LGBTQ care.”

California Democratic candidates for governor can’t stop talking about single-payer health care — again. bit.ly/409uCUk 📸 Jungho Kim

Trump’s H.R. 1 threatens to push millions of Californians off their health coverage. We’re proud to support a set of bills championed by CA lawmakers to reduce the harm & chaos of these policies for Medi-Cal applicants & enrollees. More about the legislative response to H.R. 1: bit.ly/4l1WKlI

Preliminary stats from @coveredcanews.bsky.social make it clear that the loss of ACA subsidies are pushing people to either drop their health plans altogether or opt for plans that don't offer much more than catastrophic coverage because it's the only way to stay insured that they can afford.

1 in 3 New Enrollees Chose the Cheapest Health Plans — Here's Why That's a Problem Covered California enrollment fell 2.7% following the end of enhanced federal premium assistance. That’s better than expected, but many people are making concessions to afford staying insured.

In today’s Sen. Budget Hearing, our @cmarysmith.bsky.social urged #CAleg to push back on harmful H.R. 1 cuts in the #CABudget and reverse the plan to kick 200,000 lawfully present immigrants—refugees, asylees, trafficking and domestic violence survivors—off of full-scope Medi-Cal coverage

Today CA State Assembly passed #AJR25 by @asmmiabonta.bsky.social making it clear California leaders stand with Californians on the need to extend #ACA tax credits - while Republicans in Congress choose to help their billionaire friends & donors over helping families afford health care.
