🎂 Medicaid turns 60 today—but we’re raising the alarm, not celebrating.

Over 5 million kids in CA rely on Medi-Cal, and new federal changes threaten their care.

We won’t back down. Kids’ health isn’t up for debate.

🚨We’re urging Congress to vote NO on H.R. 1.

The bill threatens access to health care for California’s children by slashing critical Medi-Cal funding and putting coverage at risk for millions of families.
