Had to explain to a patient that Medi-Cal actually IS the same thing as Medicaid.
And that cuts to Medicaid are likely going to impact the ability of Medi-Cal to continue to cover him and people like him.
I don't think we are collectively having enough conversations about this issue.

Despite what they try to tell you, caring about others, fighting for the rights of ALL human beings, honouring differences amongst us all, are NOT threats to you, or to your way of life.
Striving to be better always is honouring your own humanity, while protecting others' humanity.
Imagine that.
