CalOptima has eliminated access to four critical, award-winning hospitals in Orange County placing patients and our families at risk. Patients are suffering! Sign the petition at https://t.co/WIP3AiUCrO RT till it reach @MichelleSteelCA @VP @GavinNewsom @RepLindaSanchez

https://t.co/CBSRDhMCfj. Is there any explanation for that? How is that ok for patient care? #OrangeCounty #Healthcare 2/2

@CountyofLA @OrangeCountySSA @GavinNewsom I saw this article detailing the long wait times for patients needing to go from hospital to hospital - https://t.co/FtxyDTSCHu, and then I saw today that CalOptima members are waiting more than 30 hours to be transferred? 1/2

@Ashleighaitken, did CalOptima really remove 4 hospitals from their network? Why would they do that? I figured as Mayor youd want to know what’s going on. (https://t.co/RJTGiO7tyu) #Patientcare

1/2 @DanKalmick as a City Council member, I imagine healthcare is a very important item that you fight for for our community. How is CalOptima allowed to take away healthcare access…only to say that it’s not taking away access…after it pulled 4 hospitals from it’s network?

2/2 CalOptima is leaving patients unattended for 30 hours?? Prime Healthcare pleads with state for return of CalOptima contracts with 4 OC hospitals – Orange County Register (https://t.co/7oKtcOkzj9) #Patientsfirst

1/1 I had saw this on the news and figured it was the typical contracting fight between big business and corporate companies…but this write up makes things look really bad on CalOptima’s part. @MayorgaMD, help me understand this.

CalOptima just removed 4 vital safety-net hospitals from its network – threatening the health status of 940,000 at-risk Orange County residents. In this op-ed, HASC president George W. Greene joins these residents to urge CalOptima to reverse course: https://t.co/d4juWwM54y

What are your thoughts on this story @MiaBonta? CalOptima took away care for a 90 year old??? Couldn’t imagine why, but figured as Health Chair maybe you could help explain. (https://t.co/2pdodGAK7O) #OrangeCounty #Healthcare
