Please join advocates across California in a VIRTUAL LOBBY DAY today to call on Governor Brown to move forward with the fastest and fullest implementation of the Medi-Cal Expansion possible.  We need your help today to lobby the Governor  -and you  can join us from the comfort of your computer, smartphone, or tablet!

The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) allows the state to expand Medi-Cal to over ONE MILLION uninsured Californians starting on January 1, 2014.  But in order to open the doors on January 1st, the state must get to work NOW.  We need your help sending a message (tweet, email, or facebook) to the Governor that those in our communities that need healthcare cannot afford delay, and our state cannot afford to leave federal dollars on the table!

EMAIL THE GOVERNOR

You can email the Governor on his website: http://govnews.ca.gov/gov39mail/mail.php

Tell the Governor that:

• We can’t afford to wait any longer to expand Medi-Cal
• The expansion is 100% federally funded for the first 3 years
• We need to ensure access to care for those who are left out of Obamacare
• Why this is important to you!

TWEET THE GOVERNOR

Please tweet the Governor – begin your tweet with and end your tweet with #Health4All

Here are some sample tweets

CA needs to expand Medi-Cal fully and urgently!  1.4 mil Californians can get covered with little cost to CA! #Health4All

Don’t risk delaying Medi-Cal expansion and CA leaving federal $$ in DC. The fiscally prudent is to expand Medi-Cal ASAP.

California needs Medi-Cal Expansion, which is 100% federally funded for 1st 3 years, and matched 9:1 after.  #Health4All

Expand Medi-Cal NOW to keep Obamacare implementation moving in CA!  Millions can’t afford healthcare in CA. #Health4All

Delaying Medi-Cal expansion delays Obamacare implementation while Californians get sicker and can’t afford care. #Health4All

Expanding Medi-Cal NOW so 1.4 million get healthcare, federally funded.  Healthier California = Priceless. #Health4AllTHE GOVERNOR
