A small paperwork error shouldn’t cost providers thousands—or limit patient care. SB 1049 gives healthcare providers 90 days to fix correctable claim mistakes so they can get paid for care already delivered. Protect providers. Protect access. #SB1049 #HealthcareAccess #CAleg

Did you know? Your zip code can impact your health more than your genetic code. As a physician, I see this reality every day in our communities. Join me for a deep dive into health disparities and how we can create change together in my latest podcast episode. https://youtu.be/0WWkkoUkMvs
You deserve to know what you’re drinking. 🥤 SB 869 will require chain restaurants in California to show added sugar warnings on high-sugar drinks—no fine print, just transparency. Better info = healthier choices. #SB869 #SugarAwareness #HealthEquity
We know the problem and we have the resources, yet Black women continue to die from heart disease at unacceptable rates. In our latest episode, we talk about what needs to change and how we can be part of that change. Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
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
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
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
“My children have to bring me to my appointments. Do I pay for medicine or rent?" This is what social determinants of health look like in real life. Courtney and I talk about how these realities affect Black maternal health and why listening to lived experiences matters. youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
The government demanded all California health records - every Social Security number, every private detail. Her answer? No. In Part 2 of my podcast, my mom and I discuss fighting to protect your data and your privacy. Watch: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI
I authored SB 987 to create the CA Health Access Fund. New federal rules shouldn’t stop you from seeing a doctor. We’re reinvesting enrollment "savings" back into care to protect those losing coverage and ensure our clinics stay funded. 🩺🛡️ #SB987 #HealthEquity #MediCal
34 felonies without consequences erode our democracy. My mom, Dr. Shirley Weber, reflects on Germany's unified commitment to their constitution versus our courts’ inconsistency. The rule of law must apply equally to all. Listen: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI ⚖️

in a time where "normality" fails us over and over, creativity and the possibilities it opens are absolute necessity. its worth minding that most forms of progress where once considered absurd... creative solutions are a must for a better world #pottery #folkart #creativity #art #survival
Yesterday, Christian Nationalist Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) said, "Look, January 6 is an issue that was made up in the first place...That was a staged thing from day one...there was a riot there but it was a self made riot by members who hate Trump. It was made up." h/t @acyn.bsky.social

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. It stands to reason. We should exempt low-income earners from taxes and impose higher progressive tax rates on high-income earners. This is the way to narrow the wealth gap in our country.
