#AB1400 has just been referred to Asm Health Committee next week and I am voting to move it forward. Single payer cannot solve all our problems, but it can be a catalyst for change. Here's my take:

Gov. Newsom just signed my bill #AB890 , to allow nurse practitioners full practice authority through a transition-to-practice process, like >two dozen other states, DC & the VA that provide pathways to allow nurse practitioners to practice independently.

Thank you @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom for signing #AB824 today to fight the high cost of Rx drugs. Brand name and generic companies use these collusive agreements to delay competition and the introduction of lower cost generics. @AGBecerra now has the tools to go after them.

Firefighters continue to make progress while we sleep. Tens of thousands of us were able to return home while they continue the battle. Please take a moment to thank them. I will. #GlassFire @CAL_FIRE

Congratulations to @LorenaSGonzalez and @CaliforniaLabor Rarely did I disagree with her - much to her surprise. In our political bubble it can be hard to understand what some people stand for. We always know who and what Lorena stands for. I will miss that very much. #conscience

We need to recognize the value nurse practitioners bring to our health care system. It is one of many ways to improve access to quality health care. They will provide excellent care and can contribute to cost savings in the system. #CANP #AB890

Sounds familiar: @JimWoodAD2 proposes bill to allow nurse practitioners more autonomy & to fill gaps in physician deserts. Previously, @dredhernandez tried same & failed. Are things different now? I covered it @KPCC :

Not too many people here at the Select Committee on Universal Coverage. We’re digging deep talking about the critical challenges we face in making much needed changes to our health care system and $. Yes it’s technical but so important. Where are all those red shirts? #CNAmissing

This issue has had bipartisan support for years. Now it’s a political football—really? Kids, women ignored while millionaires look to get the biggest Christmas gift in years.

Republicans in Congress have plenty of time to pass tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, while 9 million kids are losing their health insurance due to the loss of CHIP. This is appalling. Congress needs to act for the health of our kids.

On this #ArmenianGenocideRemembranceDay , and every day, I stand in solidarity with and support of the Armenian community. We must condemn and never forget this atrocity upon Armenians and demand full truth, accountability and justice from the government of Turkey.

We need to remove the senior penalty. These vulnerable seniors shouldn’t have to worry about their health care. It’s not healthy.

Assemblymember @JimWoodAD2 and Linda Nguy of @Western_Center present the proposal to remove the "senior penalty" in Medi-Cal, to align eligibility, so some "aged and disabled" don't fall through cracks. #Care4AllCA #CABudget

We can’t allow corporations to boost profits at the expense of patients and increasing health care costs and I’ll keep uncovering these abusive practices to contain health care costs and bring health care to all Californians

BREAKING: @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom signs patient protection bill #AB290 ( @JimWoodAD2 ) to prevent dialysis providers from steering patients away from coverage they would be entitled to. Thr bill prevents gaming some have done to get a higher reimbursement.

#ILoveMyJob Governor Newsom acknowledges my persistence in making #AB38 happen. My staff @Paul_Ramey14 worked really hard with me to make it happen. Wish I could give him a fist bump today but he's enjoying a hard-earned vacation!

Lots of great proposals and funding for #healthcare in @GavinNewsom budget for 2020-21. I’ve been fighting for affordability and against high costs and am excited to see the proposal for an “Office of Health Care Affordability.” We’ll need that to be able to have coverage for all

Today the Appropriations Committee made #AB890 a 2-year bill. I will continue to fight to make this happen & appreciate the support of @CaliforniaNP & the 50+ organizations v. the handful of physician organizations that opposed it. Read my full statement.

Hey @MikeHenderso12 I see that you are Speaker pro Tempore for the Missouri house and a football fan. How about a friendly wager on #SuperBowlLVIII ? If the @49ers win you wear a SF jersey while presiding over your house I’d do a @Chiefs in unlikely event we lose? @JeremyBWhite
