State Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson is chair of a budget health subcommittee on Medi-Cal .
Her priorities include preserving coverage for the state’s most vulnerable, particularly children and people with chronic health conditions.
President Donald Trump has said GOP efforts to cut federal spending will not touch Medicaid beyond “waste, fraud, and abuse” Congressional Republicans are considering going after states that extend coverage to immigrants without legal status.
Our Medi-Cal budget, outside of what the federal government may do, is exploding.
We definitely have to ensure that those who are our most vulnerable — our kids, those with chronic conditions — continue to have some sort of coverage.
We need to make sure that the biases that led to various discrepancies and health care outcomes are not the same biases that are inputted into that system.
