Cuts to Medicaid will jeopardize access to healthcare for millions
Cuts to Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid Program), will threatens the health of over 15 million Californians, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families who rely on Medicaid for essential, lifesaving care.
Community health centers see first hand the vital role Medicaid plays in early intervention, chronic disease management, and preventive services that reduce long-term costs and improve quality of life. Collectively, 71% of the patients served across all eight of our member community health centers are covered by Medi-Cal.
“Healthcare should not be a privilege tied to wealth or luck. Medicaid embodies our nation’s promise to care for each other in times of need. Slashing it would break that promise. We must protect—and strengthen—Medicaid, not dismantle it.” – Jane Garcia, CEO, La Clinica
