A new Web site aims to collect tales of health care troubles due to the Medi-Cal cuts and the budget impasse.
MyCAStory.org features videos, photos and stories from California residents.
According to the site, "Our purpose is to share the stories behind the numbers of everyday Californians struggling to raise families, survive, and succeed despite the looming threat of budget cuts to the state programs and services on which they rely. These are the stories behind those numbers."
This is the product of California Association of Food Banks, San Francisco's IHSS Public Authority and Health Access California.
Health Access has been busy trying to get the word out about these cuts. The group has put on a local press conference with hospital leaders and has commissioned two studies showing the unintended effects of these cuts. (Read "Health leaders worry about fate of Medi-Cal" for more information.)
No Kern County residents have contributed to MyCAStory.org yet. If you do, let me know.
