Senior Services Coalition Members and to everyone who cares about aging seniors and the disabled – we are sharing this Call to Action from Justice in Aging:

We oppose the California Assembly’s plan to adopt Governor Newsom’s proposal to impose a $2,000 asset limit for older adults and people with disabilities to qualify for Medi-Cal.

California aging and disability network, please take action TODAY! Call Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (916-319-2046), chair of the Assembly Budget Committee and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (916-319-2029) – urge them to reject this proposal.

The Assembly’s suggested delay in implementation until July 1, 2027, does little to mitigate the harm of this cut. A $2,000 asset limit for Medi-Cal is simply a cruel requirement that unfairly penalizes older adults and people with disabilities.

Talking Points
• I am opposed to the Assembly’s agreement to impose a $2,000 asset limit in Medi-Cal for older adults and people with disabilities.
• Delaying this proposal is unacceptable, and the Assembly should fully reject this unfair and harmful proposal.
• A $2,000 asset limit prevents people from having any savings, putting them one emergency away from financial ruin.
