In the process of furthering research into actions to address Congregation Beth Shalom’s interests expressed over the last year’s ongoing Listening Campaign, your committee member Michael Davis traveled with a delegation from Sacramento Area Congregations Together and others from across the nation (PICO) to Washington, D.C.
We met in the White House with President Obama’s representatives to discuss access to quality health care in Medicare and Medicaid (Medi-Cal), and the transition into coverage under the new Affordable Health Care policy.
Some innovative solutions to facilitate delivery of medical care to some underserved-elders and disabled in our population were discussed.
We carried this same conversation to the D.C. office of Senator Diane Feinstein; to communicate our concerns reflecting California’s needs in this area.
The Social Action Committee needs the energy of your hearts, hands and voices in this wonderful opportunity to make a difference in our local community and in our nation’s policies. Please join us.
