Medi-Cal transparency matters because it shows us where to focus our fight for health equity.

Because of Trump and GOP health care cuts, California's uninsured rate could nearly double by 2030. The #CABudget Corporate Fair Share proposal can help lessen the blow, but the #FightForOurHealth isn't over. More from @calmatters.org:

Primary care used to be the front door to the health care system. Now it's harder to find, harder to afford, and disappearing in the communities that need it most. Our latest #OurMoneyOurHealthCare video explores why - and what it means for your care:

👀 Big announcement coming Monday! Be sure you’re following our social media channels:

SB 177's signing is an important step towards making sure massive corporations pay their fair share into California's health care system. "We’ll be watching closely to make sure this promise becomes real, lasting accountability," our Executive Director tells the @sacbee.com:

Newsom cheers Fair Share from Big Corporations Act after previous skepticism

After months of silence over the proposal, Newsom cheered its passage Wednesday. But his administration has not said if it plans to begin drafting proposals before his term ends.

sacbee.com

It's been just over a year since Trump and Congressional Republicans passed H.R. 1 - a targeted move to push immigrant Californians out of care to line the pockets of massive corporations. Our communities fought back against state cuts; we will keep up the #Fight4OurHealth against ANY cuts to care.

While the final 2026-27 #CABudget contains some major wins for our immigrant communities, the fight to protect health care access for all Californians will continue. As our Executive Director, Kiran Savage-Sangwan, tells @calmatters.org: "Our work is far from over."

See what Newsom, lawmakers agreed to in their $352 billion budget deal

California's budget plan, Newsom’s last as governor, relies on higher revenue projections and new taxes to delay healthcare cuts until 2027 and reduce future budget gaps
