DESCRIPTION:
Everyone has a right to be healthy and happy. Governor Schwarzenegger is proposing to eliminate critical benefits to seniors, the very people who nurtured and taught us to value human life. These cuts will take away their only lifeline. To deny legal immigrant parents and children access to preventive health services is harsh and mean-spirited. We need to stand up for community values, the bedrock that ensures that everyone has a chance to laugh, work hard and be proud that we live in California.

During the rally, community members will deliver close to 7,000 signatures to Governor Schwarzenegger and make their voices their heard. In our vision: "We all do well when we all do well."

The Governor\\'s most recent budget proposal includes unfair and discriminatory cuts such as:

- Eliminating the Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI), which provides basic benefits to legal immigrant seniors and persons with disabilities;

- Denying full scope Medi-Cal to legal immigrants who have been in the U.S. for less than five years;

- Slashing the required income eligibility for Medi-Cal for low-income parents from 100% FPL to 61%, which is less than ,000 for a family of four; and

- Increasing Healthy Families Premiums by 78% and Copayments up to 50% for non-preventive services

Immigrants pay taxes that support all Californians and help make up the backbone of the economy; to deny them access to the very services they support is discriminatory and wrong.
