I presented SB 1049 to fix a real problem: providers delivering good care but facing denials over small, fixable errors. This bill allows 90 days to correct claims after a plan action—keeping the focus on patients, not paperwork. #SB1049 #HealthPolicy

1 in 5 U.S. adults and nearly 20% of youth face mental or substance use disorders each year. I presented SCR 175 to recognize May 2026 as Behavioral Health Awareness Month. We must reduce stigma and treat behavioral health as essential health. #SCR175 #BehavioralHealth
Even Beyoncé and Serena Williams faced serious childbirth complications. In this episode, we talk about why Black maternal mortality remains so high and why access alone does not guarantee safety. Watch the clip and the full episode of Prescribing a Healthier Future. https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
Data shows 888,000 San Diego County residents rely on Medi-Cal for healthcare. The proposed $863B cuts over 10 years would ruin our community's health safety net. As your physician-advocate, I'm fighting to protect essential healthcare access. Watch more: youtu.be/FdQV15yw2Ko?si=EpgEB2mxsh8fLMd7
SB 1049 passed the Senate and now moves to the Assembly. 🎉 Denying payment over a missing code isn't protecting the system. It's destabilizing clinics that deliver real care. #SD39 #CALeg
My mom's words ring true: California still hasn't delivered quality education to every child. You deserve leaders who prioritize kids over politics—who understand that educational equity isn't negotiable, it's essential. Watch her full perspective: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI
Families deserve to trust their child’s care. SB 874 strengthens Medi-Cal behavioral health with provider background checks, expert + family input, and clear standards with accountability—because quality care for kids shouldn’t be a question.
Excited to announce my new podcast "Prescribing a Healthier Future" where we explore how policy shapes public health. Join me for deep dives into healthcare equity, community solutions, and conversations that matter. Together, we'll build a healthier California. #HealthPolicy
Black Californians live 5 years less than the state average. Black mothers are nearly 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications, despite most deaths being preventable. Your race or zip code should never determine your health. #BlackHealthEquity
"Those payments should count." SB 1199 passed the Senate 26-0. Now it heads to the Assembly. #SD39 #CALeg
I authored SB 1199 to stop insurers from ignoring medication copay assistance. Now, if someone pays on your behalf, that amount MUST count toward your deductible. No more shell games, assistance should benefit the patient, not pad insurance profits. 💊🛡️ #SB1199 #HealthEquity #CAleg
Jeff Rath: "This is the second judge now that's decided that they want to engage in politics and to be a political actor rather than a judicial actor and to basically engage in politics while wearing a black robe with a red sash."
