We’ve been working hard to get a $24 million dollar increase into the Medi-Cal reimbursement rate as part of the current budget negotiations. After 20 years of  no increases at all, NOW IS THE TIME. We are at the critical point in these negotiations when we must TAKE ACTION and INSIST that our state leaders---from the Governor to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, Don Perata and Speaker of the Assembly, Fabian Nunez,---listen to us and help the state’s healthcare safety net providers care for the hundreds of thousands of people they serve---and have to turn away because they don’t have the financial resources to provide clinical care to those seeking it.
