Community News
Open dialogue among community members is an important part of successful advocacy. Take Action California believes that the more information and discussion we have about what's important to us, the more empowered we all are to make change.
Last
week, Governor Jerry Brown's Administration introduced their proposal for the Medi-Cal expansion authorized as part of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). This proposal, while an
important first step, fails to take advantage of all of the opportunities
available in the ACA to ensure our most vulnerable populations, the majority
from communities of color, can access affordable health coverage through a
fully expanded Medi-Cal program.
You have the opportunity to contribute to this critical discussion. The
Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is hosting a stakeholder call to
discuss the proposal tomorrow, Wednesday, February 6th, from 1:30 to
2:30 pm. To access this call, dial (877) 708-9768 and enter the
