So sick of oily prop 27 ads, but confused by 27/26. Found this.

So many Chest-thumping-Christians need to hear these words of service and faith.

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.

Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

Well done piece on my alma mater’s sad performance. Turlock High adults stumble badly in deciding the show must not go on

Amazing NASA graph showing monthly temps compared to average since 1880. Think about when family cars then jet plane rides took off. https://t.co/CZMYuo8m5z

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

I sigh and await 7:30 am, when hundreds of Turlock's MediCal patients will compete for handful of eye exams next month for MediCal patients. I can't find any PT provider to take another patient's insurance, which BTW also denied her diabetic test strips. This is crazy.

BREAKING: it is being reported that the single payer healthcare bill #AB1400 in the CA State Assembly is being pulled from the agenda and will not be voted on. This is incredibly disappointing. We need to get those votes on record! #CalCare

[Nan Austin @NanAustin]

SacBee editorial buries the lead - new taxes needed would be about what we already spend on system that denies Rx, hits us with surprise costs and edits our care. No sick person should have to deal with what we have now. https://t.co/U8DabajuWb

@CalNurses @Ash_Kalra @AsmCarrillo @laurafriedman43 @SantiagoAD53 @StefRoberson @SenGonzalez33 @Scott_Wiener @AsmLuzRivas @AsmPhilTing @JimWoodAD2 Single payer (like Medicare) would be huge for every worker wanting to change jobs, every cancer patient, every overwhelmed mom.... all of us. Cheaper. Fairer. Better care. Let's do this CA!

[Nan Austin @NanAustin]

I have two folks with health issues and have navigated private, employer, public insurances. Coding errors, Rx refusals, delays, billing snafu - no sane person would design this and no sick person can deal with it. CA has a chance to do it right #AB1400

We've been working hard to get CalCare ready for January. As we get closer, what's on your health care holiday wishlist?

Tried to connect with #AT&T #customerservice today: transferred 9 xs to phonemails & 8 reps before call failed (to the phone co!)

Single payer for CA: When our baby with spina bifida was born we had great insurance. But time at Shriners showed us the incredible difference of no bills/co-pays, doctors making final decisions, not $$. We all need this. @FightForM4A https://t.co/2D0vJvTSH1

Dear @RepScottPeters @RepKathleenRice and @RepSchrader,
Your vote to keep pharma prices as is shows real ignorance. Ever had a drug switched by your insurer to save $? Ever had a critical med cut off over $$$? Chronic illness educates on craziness and cost of US system.

[Nan Austin @NanAustin]

I'm pitching in for Medicare for All. Having navigated multiple insurance systems for disabled folks I can tell you, no sick person should have to face the US health care payment system. https://t.co/pjLS98Uus4

Heat hitting 111 degrees this week and they’re trimming trees?

[Nan Austin @NanAustin]

Speaking as someone who has had sick loved ones with private insurance, MediCal and Medicare - No one who has been seriously sick thinks our mishmash of medical payment systems makes any sense at all.
