Dear Mental Health Community, 
 
The Senate Healthcare Bill is devastating for millions. 

Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provide health and long-term care coverage to nearly 12.3 million low-income children, pregnant women, adults, seniors, and people with disabilities in California. Medicaid is a major source of funding for safety-net hospitals and nursing homes.  The Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) would fundamentally change the scope of the program and end the guarantee of federal matching funds.
