Proposed cuts to Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, would be devastating for millions of Californians who rely on the program for access to essential healthcare services. No state has the financial resources to cover the billions in funding that would be lost if these cuts take effect. For vulnerable populations like seniors and those with chronic illnesses, the consequences could be life-threatening if they lose their Medi-Cal coverage. Preserving and strengthening Medi-Cal is crucial to ensuring all Californians can receive necessary medical care regardless of their financial situation. The program provides a vital safety net, supporting not only individuals but also healthcare systems and the hundreds of thousands of jobs they provide across the state. Cutting Medi-Cal funding would deal a severe blow to our healthcare infrastructure and jeopardize the well-being of our communities. I urge you to prioritize the health and welfare of your constituents over partisan politics or misguided attempts to generate tax breaks for the wealthy. Access to quality, affordable healthcare should be a fundamental right, not a privilege reserved for the few. Please oppose any efforts to cut or undermine the Medi-Cal program and fight to protect this essential lifeline for millions of Californians.
