Support for Senate Bill 202 (Dodd): Medi-Cal: Personal Needs Allowance

Dear Mt. Bear Democrats,

Thanks for the opportunity to talk with you at your/our meeting in April.

We need as many people as possible to contact the leadership about SB 202. If you know of others who will help – please forward.

SB 202 is headed for the Suspense File. We need as many people as possible to contact the leadership and ask for SB 202 to be voted on, so vulnerable seniors in nursing homes on MediCal can have some dignity of life. We need the PNA to be raised from $35 to $80 a month. This will give residents the same buying power they had in 1985!

Sincerely,

Susan Walker
Senior Senator, CA Senior Legislature
