Favorite quote in awhile: "We are California. We don't follow, we lead." I strongly agree with this and the idea of providing services to the undocumented. #PM760 More undocumented immigrants would qualify for health care in $250 million California plan sacbee.com/news/politics-…

It is important to remember that a person's health does not just relate to ailments. But relates to a person's overall well-being. To achieve true health we need to do more. #PM760 Legal help can be the prescription for health at Minneapolis clinic strib.mn/2HDQXzD

#pm760 Trump Admin considers subjecting Native Americans to Medicaid work requirements. US history has constantly disregarded Native Americans and their culture and this is just another example-along with an example of Trump’s lack of cultural competency.

In a time where most states are trying to determine how to cover their residents, it is absolutely horrifying to know that States are trying to bring down the ACA. #PM760 California seeks to intervene to defend Obamacare in court latimes.com/politics/essen…

Across the world there has been vast misconceptions about a women's period. B/c of misinformation the period has been looked at with shame and disgust. I hope that this will eventually change. #PM760 Menstrual Pads Can’t Fix Prejudice nytimes.com/2018/03/31/opi…

More than just politicians can fight for universal healthcare. Even the average man can stand up for what is right. Remember that you can help make a difference. #PM760 Private Man At Center Of Very Public Single-Payer Debate californiahealthline.org/MjczMDIx via @CalHealthline

The Republican food stamp plan is imploding. Some Reps want to wait until after midterm election in order to severely shrink SNAP enrollment. #pm760 huffingtonpost.com/entry/republic… via @HuffPostPol

This is not just true for Medicare. Children covered by Medicaid/CHIP are also facing a lack of coverage, high risk of cavities, & other contributing health issues. #PM760 Medicare Doesn’t Equal Dental Care. That Can Be a Big Problem. nytimes.com/2018/03/19/ups…

There is a fine line between inaction & having your hands tied. If new studies cannot be funded or supported & people rely on incorrect assumptions, then gun violence will always be an issue in the US. #pm760 nyti.ms/2tFZVtu

Interesting to read two stories from different sides of the 400% FPL. In my opinion, those who live at the margin legitimately suffer under the ACA, but their discontent with Medicaid recipients is unfair and unfounded. #PM760 nyti.ms/2BH3RfI

Low income families already suffering in their lack of access to groceries stores that provide fresh foods. So to further decrease their access by eliminating the financial support is truly unapologetic.

The sad unfortunate truth is that the Trump Administration will probably get away with this. After having to thoroughly read the recent exemptions and there reasoning, the government may have a real chance at expanding the contraceptive exemptions #PM760 nyti.ms/2Cb3USl

Expanded healthcare coverage under Medi-Cal doesn’t necessarily mean that enrollees have better access to healthcare - until providers start accepting these patients, they might not be better off #pm760 khn.org/news/upsurge-o…
