The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration. The number listed is the Capitol Switchboard to contact your Congressperson to urge them to vote no/reject these cuts.

Today the Senate narrowly passed a sweeping domestic tax bill that includes the largest cuts to Medicaid in U.S. history. These devastating cuts would gut essential services, putting even more pressure on family caregivers and the people they support. CALL [phone]

The House-passed budget bill includes devastating cuts to Medicaid, threatening caregivers, aging adults & ppl w/ disabilities. Over 4M caregivers rely on Medicaid for their own care. These cuts gut HCBS, add red tape & deepen the caregiving crisis. Read: https://t.co/FCJ6M6e4nY

Implementing work requirements for Medicaid eligibility can pose significant challenges for family caregivers enrolled in the program. Many caregivers reduce their work hours or leave employment to provide necessary care.

#SB951 gives CA workers the right to up to 90% of their income through #PaidFamilyLeave or #SDI when they take leave to bond with a new child, care for sick family, or recover from their own health condition! Learn more: https://t.co/F4dflogIjL @SenMariaEDurazo @CAgovernor

On World Alzheimer’s Day, Governor Newsom signed a package of 12 bills to help California’s law enforcement, doctors and health care providers, and local aging services better serve the growing number of California adults over 60 and their families. https://t.co/XB3aq3bZrd

This pride month, show up for the #LGTBQ+ community by asking your legislators to support #AB518 - Paid Family Leave for Chosen Family. It‘s time to make our leave laws more inclusive!
Take action: https://t.co/aIzjrwr9U7

[California Coalition on Family Caregiving @ForCaCFC]

According to a survey by @AARP, 82% of LGTBQ people 45 and older are concerned about having adequate family or social support as they age. Most ppl rely on their extended or chosen family for caregiving as they age - our leave laws should reflect that! https://t.co/aIzjrwr9U7

[California Coalition on Family Caregiving @ForCaCFC]

When the federal government failed to guarantee #PaidSickDays during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, local governments stepped up to secure the benefit for their workers. Learn more in this new @FordhamULJ article: @ABetterBalance https://t.co/NyIjUCugXk
