Take action

Discrimination only stands as long as it remains hidden. If you believe this is wrong, if you have a loved one who is not receiving the proper access to mental health care through the county system under Medi-Cal, write your state senator and Assembly member (find their e-mail addresses at www.leginfo.ca.gov).

Tell them that you want them to use the upcoming federal waiver deadline to begin paying the state’s 50 percent match and bring true parity to California.
