Become An Advocate

Californias community hospitals and emergency rooms (ERs) save
lives every day. They are the places where babies are born, where the
sick and injured are treated, and where communities turn in times of
public safety concerns issues like H1N1 and earthquakes. Hospitals are
there when you need them most.

However, Californias community hospitals are facing increasing
pressures that are putting them at financial risk. Hospital ERs are
becoming increasingly overcrowded with Californias growing
uninsured population who cannot pay for their care, and they are
losing nearly $12 billion in uncompensated care mostly from
governments-sponsored programs like Medi-Cal and Medicare.

Hospitals and ERs need your help now. Become an advocate for your
local community hospital by going to www.ProtectMyER.com. Once there,
