SB 1049 passed the Senate and now moves to the Assembly. ๐ Denying payment over a missing code isn't protecting the system. It's destabilizing clinics that deliver real care. #SD39 #CALeg

34 felonies without consequences erode our democracy. My mom, Dr. Shirley Weber, reflects on Germany's unified commitment to their constitution versus our courtsโ inconsistency. The rule of law must apply equally to all. Listen: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI โ๏ธ
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
You deserve to know what youโre drinking. ๐ฅค SB 869 will require chain restaurants in California to show added sugar warnings on high-sugar drinksโno fine print, just transparency. Better info = healthier choices. #SB869 #SugarAwareness #HealthEquity

Alzheimerโs affects 7M Americans, but younger patients face massive private insurance gaps for plaque-reducing drugs. I presented #SB950 to ensure timely access to FDA-approved treatments for early-onset diagnoses. We must align coverage policies to reflect the urgency of this disease ๐ฉบ๐ณ๏ธ
Thanksgiving takeaway: unplug & you might meet a new side of the people you love. My mom learned something on a cruise when they charged extra for Wi-Fi. Her grandsons and her spent a week creating stories together, just talking for hours. She saw sides of them she'd never seen before.

SB 977 passed the California Senate last week. Chain restaurants must offer at least one healthy kidsโ meal option clearly on the menu, not hidden or requiring a special request. Meals must meet nutrition standards including under 550 calories, lower sodium and sugar, and zero trans fats.
A small paperwork error shouldnโt cost providers thousandsโor 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
