Kids rely on Medicaid for everything from prescriptions to specialists. Cuts would make the care they need harder to access. #ProtectMedicaid #HandsOffMedicaid #SaveMedicaid #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Children rely on Medicaid to manage their health from birth through adolescence. Cuts to Medicaid jeopardize their futures. #ProtectMedicaid #HandsOffMedicaid #SaveMedicaid #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Medicaid = Health Insurance! It provides free or low-cost coverage to millions of low-income Americans, including kids, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. A vital lifeline for healthcare in the U.S. 🌟 Call your member of Congress and Protect Medicaid 866-426-2631

As the fires continue to devastate LA County, CSCC's heart goes out to all of those affected by the trauma of what is happening in their community. We also express deep gratitude to the providers who continue to serve children and families during this time of great adversity.

CSCC was honored to award @asmakilahweber as 2024 Legislator of the Year. She is a true champion for access to care in Medi-Cal and has spent much of her time in the Assembly lifting up the voices of the most vulnerable mothers, families and children in the state.

CSCC is proud to support #Prop35. It will improve access to pediatric specialty care for all kids in California. #YESon35

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

We’re among hundreds of health care organizations supporting #YESon35. #Prop35 will protect Medi-Cal for over 15 million Californians, guarantee health care funding that can’t be redirected, keep hospitals open and accessible, and reduce emergency room wait times for everyone.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

Without access to health care, California's children and families suffer. This November, vote #Yeson35 to ensure health care dollars go directly to health care - and patients. @VoteYes35 https://t.co/6hucACQYdJ

[University of California Health @UofCAHealth]

Great news: @CAgovernor signed AB 3059 into LAW 👶🍼. For infants in the NICU, donor milk is a lifeline. With this new law, babies & families will now have easier access to lifesaving nutrition. Thank you @asmakilahweber for your leadership😍 @ucmilkbank https://t.co/pR1gEaAaLl

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

Physicians from across California SUPPORT Prop 35. Prop 35 will address the health care crisis and secure dedicated, ongoing funding for Medi-Cal to expand access to health care.

[Children's Specialty Care Coalition @CSCCdocs]

Medicine doesn’t work if children won’t take it!
@cagovernor, please sign AB 3063 and bring access to medicine flavoring back to CA families.

[Areva Martin, Esq. @ArevaMartin]

As a mom, I know how difficult it can be to get kids to take medicine! It doesn’t have to be. AB 3063 will make it easier for kids to take medicine! 48 other states have adopted legislation. Lets go CA. @cagovernor #theyuckstopshere Sign the petition: https://t.co/ac0UYm4Tfj

[UCAdvocacy @UCAdvocacy]

AB 3059 is on @CAGovernor’s desk awaiting his signature. Authored by @AsmAkilahWeber, this bill will help #UC eliminate disparities for vulnerable babies by expanding access to milk banks across CA. Tell Gov. Newsom to sign the bill! https://t.co/3inlLBJrbU

[Children's Specialty Care Coalition @CSCCdocs]

CSCC is proud to support AB 3059, authored by @asmakilahweber, to expand access to donor milk regardless of insurance type, and reduce health disparities among infants. We urge @CAgovernor to sign this important legislation.

[UCAdvocacy @UCAdvocacy]

Good news! @UofCalifornia & @UofCAHealth are grateful for the support of #CALeg for passing AB 3059, authored by @asmakilahweber. The bill is now awaiting @CAgovernor’s signature. Stay tuned for how you can help get this bill across the finish line! https://t.co/mAkqBmbUAs

At the hearing on Prop. 35, CSCC's Erin Kelly said, "young people with complex health conditions face unparalleled challenges in trying to find pediatric specialists and Prop. 35 will provide the funding and workforce training to finally give them the care they deserve.” #Yeson35

[Children's Specialty Care Coalition @CSCCdocs]

This week, CSCC staff attended the Medical Group Advocacy Symposium hosted by @CMAdocs, covering important topics like building the future physician workforce, and the importance of #Yeson35 for Medi-Cal patients. It was a wonderful convening!

Dr. Cleary's legacy is strong!

[Satyan @neosatyan]

Remembering the one and only Dr. John Cleary @NeoHeartSociety #NeoHeart2024 - a touching tribute by @amir_NHS - John was a phenomenal mentor, a compassionate physician and was a strong advocate for all children through his work @CSCCdocs

[California Health Report @calhealthreport]

Some doctors and parents fear that children who rely on these devices could have life-threatening breathing problems if their ventilators break. https://t.co/k0ChEmglRE

[Children's Specialty Care Coalition @CSCCdocs]

Today, CSCC testified in opposition before the Asm. Budget Subcommittee on Health to the May Revise proposal to sweep MCO Tax dollars. These dollars represent a significant opportunity to improve access to pediatric specialty care and must be used for their intended purpose.
