Tomorrow at @ZSFGCare, leaders and clinicians from Bay Area public health care systems will urge state leaders to take action to prevent a looming health care crisis.

California's public health care systems face nearly $4 billion in annual financial pressures while continuing to provide care to 3.7 million patients across the state.

California's public hospital systems have funded a critical piece of Medi-Cal inpatient costs alone for two decades. H.R. 1 makes that unsustainable. The Legislature must act. #CABudget #FundPublicHospitalSystems

[CAPH @CAPHSystems]

Budget negotiations are underway. $3.4B in losses. 3.7M patients. The Legislature must act in the final budget. #CABudget #FundPublicHospitalSystems

[Urban Counties of California @countiesurban]

The May Revision provides virtually no support to public hospitals.

Without additional funding, access to care suffers for ALL Californians.

The Legislature must finish what the May Revise left undone and protect Californians' access to care.

Yesterday, we joined lawmakers and health care workers from @CenterRuhs @SCCgov @ZSFGCare @SMCHealth at the Capitol, calling for $500M in state budget support for California’s health care safety net.

Federal cuts threaten more than $3B annually in losses. California must act. @latimes https://t.co/C3wjw5lPkI

“Public hospital systems are where people go when they have nowhere else to go.”

At today’s Capitol press conference, Assemblymember @PatrickAhrens1 spoke about being born at @SCCgov Valley Medical Center and called on California to “invest and reinvest” in the systems communities rely on every day.

Public hospital systems are urging a $500 million investment in the final state budget to protect care for 3.7 million Californians. #CABudget #FundPublicHospitalSystems

[CAPH @CAPHSystems]

Patients across California depend on a strong health care safety net. Public hospital systems are a core part of that infrastructure and are facing growing pressure from coverage losses, rising uncompensated care and inadequate reimbursement, threatening access to care for the communities that rely on them most.

The @sdutOpinion opinion piece from Supervisors @SupEllenberg and @D4SupMonica highlights what is at stake for counties, public systems and the communities they serve. https://t.co/IBCGq6Kyah

[CAPH @CAPHSystems]

California’s public hospital systems cannot absorb the scale of coverage losses projected under H.R. 1 without state action.

Yolo County Supervisor Sheila Allen outlines the stakes for counties and the healthcare safety net in a @sacbee_news op-ed:https://t.co/VEGmkvkEDH

[CAPH @CAPHSystems]

Governor Newsom's May Revise leaves public hospital systems without relief. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/2mtWjdpvMj

[CAPH @CAPHSystems]

Up to 2 million Californians could lose Medi-Cal under H.R. 1. Their need for health care does not disappear. They will still turn to public hospital systems, only sicker and without coverage. The Legislature must act. #FundPublicHospitalSystems #CABudget

[CAPH @CAPHSystems]

The largest Medi-Cal cuts in history. That's what H.R. 1 means. State lawmakers must counter this threat to children, families, and seniors by providing $500M in the #CABudget. The damage is preventable. #FundPublicHospitalSystems

[CAPH @CAPHSystems]

H.R. 1 cuts federal health care funding and access to care. Longer waits. Fewer services. Harder choices. California's 17 public hospital systems serve 3.7 million patients a year. Every one will feel this strain unless state lawmakers act. #FundPublicHospitalSystems #CABudget
