If the budget cut proceeds it is not only MediCal recepients that will be impacted. Services in small rural areas will not be able to continue providing health care to the communities. We in the Sierras are facing the loss of not only skilled nursing care but home health and oxygen programs. This budget cut can affect all of us and our access to basic services if those services no longer exist.

This video really hits hard. It is time that we think about ALL Californians not just those with money. Good job CPC.

Here in this video are some of my patient's that I do their insurance billing and help out their families with any questions on their healthcare benefits. Without their medical insurance to pay for the healthcare that they need it would be devasating for them and their families. Where is the respect and loyalthy for all of our American Citizen?

I strongly believe that this 10% cutback on Medi-Cal is out of hand and rediculous. Please do not allow this to happen to our citizens.

Finally someone steps up to talk about this tragic issue. What are those of us who cannot afford health care supposed to do? The governor and other members of the legislature need to take a hard look at this crisis! It is great to see someone stand up to these kinds of cuts.

It's about time someone spoke up on these budget cuts! Everyone should be concerned about this issue! Taking care of patients first should be something that all the legislators take seriously. Good for you CPC!
