Clients at Families Together of Orange County in Tustin, CA can receive help renewing Medi-Cal coverage. In April, states will resume redeterminations for Medi-Cal eligibility after being paused during the pandemic. , a community health clinic here in San Diego County, I see firsthand how California’s health care crisis impacts real patients, especially those who are enrolled in Medi-Cal. That’s why I’m supporting Proposition 35.
Unfortunately, health care coverage has not translated into actual access to health care, and the result is that our neighbors and family members on Medi-Cal must wait months to see a doctor or specialist, overcrowded emergency rooms have become the norm, and hospitals and health clinics are consolidating or closing services altogether.
And in the community where I work, fewer radiology centers are taking Medi-Cal, which means patients who need mammograms, X-rays and other important imaging services have to drive long distances and take time off of work to see a provider.
I’m proud to support Proposition 35 and be part of the broad coalition behind the measure. Hundreds of groups including clinics like mine, Planned Parenthood, doctors, health care workers, emergency responders, social justice groups, business leaders — all support Proposition 35.
