Underserved CA communities are not seeing the savings from the #340B drug discount program. We urge CA legislators to vote NO on #AB1460:https://t.co/iD31XZOAuN @FresnoBee @MercedSunStar

[CUA @Calurology]

The #340B federal drug program was meant to help patients afford their medications. However, large national pharmacy chains are taking advantage of the program and not passing down the savings. We urge CA policymakers to vote NO on #AB1460: https://t.co/6b2ALIEXh0 @MercedSunStar

The life sciences research conducted in CA is vital for patients. @CAGovernor – don’t cut the R&D tax incentives that drive advancements in patient care and treatment. #CAGov #LifeSciences #RDTaxCredit

[CUA @Calurology]

Our urology community relies on the breakthroughs made by California's life sciences industry. @CAGovernor – cutting the R&D Tax Credit will slow down research essential for patient care. #LifeSciences #CAGov #RDTaxCredit

Copay accumulators block the value of copay assistance from counting toward patient deductibles, but AB 2180 would help patients access treatments. Despite plans claiming otherwise, such legislation WON’T raise premiums. https://t.co/tkZzi3UTVQ @AsmKateSanchez

AB 632 - California Can Help Men Afford Prostate Cancer Screening. Thanks to all members and colleagues who made this possible. We recently received good news that the bill is moving forward and if all goes well will soon be on the Governor's desk.

Dr. Seth Cohen @DrSCohen, says, “This is absolutely a significant win for patients suffering with pelvic floor disorders in California that have traditionally not had access to this therapy; our Medi-Cal patients deserve the same care as all patients." We couldn't agree more.

[Yahir Santiago-Lastra | Urology @YSL_MD]

Thank you so much my friend for the acknowledgment 🫠- you were just as essential to this effort! I am also very grateful to @Calurology and @auawest for answering our call to action! INEQUALITY IS A COMORBIDITY. #PartnersInJustice

[Seth Cohen @DrSCohen]

Thanks to @YSL_MD @UCSD_Urology, our @AmerUrological @auawest ‘23 #YoungUro of the year, for highlighting this inequity & engaging @Calurology’s #advocacy team, to team up with our amazing @MDTPelvicHealth partners and make this change at the state level. #advocacyinaction #partnersinadvocacy

[CUA @Calurology]

Big team CUA advocacy win! Congrats to all who worked on this effort to alleviate the disparity in access to Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy for incontinence issues for Medi-Cal patients. @DrSCohen, @YSL_MD, @PReyblat, @DrJohnLam @auawest

[Medtronic Pelvic Health @MDTPelvicHealth]

Medi-Cal now covers SNM therapy for OAB & FI. With the help of the Medtronic team, @Calurology and the devoted physicians @DrSCohen, @YSL_MD, @PReyblat, @DrJohnLam & Dr. Robert Lurvey, millions of people will have access to this life-changing therapy.

[CUA @Calurology]

Ask your lawmakers to support access to cost free prostate cancer screenings for men in California. Urge them to support AB 632 today.
This bill will save lives and help lessen healthcare disparities!
