Governor Brown: Fix Medi-cal for seniors
Seniors can no longer get eye glasses or adequate dental care. This puts them in a state of constant vulnerability and anxiety. Stop unfair discrimination against the elderly with low incomes who are in need of urgent care.
Why is this important?
Seniors in California are being denied adequate dental and eyeglass care on the Medi-Cal system, with no viable alternative.
This amounts to blatant and discriminatory abuse of the elderly and disabled who have low incomes, while allowing younger people benefits.
