Had a great weekend running the Burney 100. Great race through a beautiful area.

This eye-opening article brings attention to the stark reality of the limited and outdated facilities in rural hospitals. The lack of modern facilities hinders the quality of care and poses challenges for healthcare providers and residents.🌾 #RuralHealth

"Compared to government payers, commercial payers take significantly longer to pay #hospitals and deny claims at a higher frequency — often without a justifiable reason to do so." — from a report published by consulting firm Crowe.

"California hospitals are deeply concerned the proposed May revision to the state budget includes no additional, immediate emergency relief funding for California’s hospitals. #OneInFive hospitals is at risk of closure due to the financial havoc wrought by the pandemic, crippling inflation, and systemic underfunding by Medi-Cal."

— Carmela Coyle, president & CEO California Hospital Association

Many hospitals across the state are scaling back services just to stay open. #OneInFive is facing closure. https://t.co/XH9e5Ozzqn

Happy National Pretzel Day to Stanley Hudson!

The closure of Madera hospital leaves area residents, including the farmworkers responsible for much of the food on your table, without nearby emergency care. Please support efforts to save Madera and other critically-needed rural hospitals. https://t.co/9uQzcZsSzO

We must support our rural hospitals, #ProtectMediCalPatients, and ensure #access to healthcare for all Californians.

@Wix47 That’s awesome. Congratulations

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file.

Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

As hospitals are forced to close or reduce the services they provide, people must travel farther for vital health care like maternity and emergency services. This doesn’t have to happen. Urge lawmakers to support funding for Medi-Cal patients in the state budget.
