CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SENATE

CONTINUE TO WELCOME PUBLIC
INPUT ON ALL ASPECTS OF THE
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
BUDGET. BEFORE WE START I'D
LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR ALL
THE HARD WORK. THAT HAS BEEN
DONE TO GET US HERE. WE ARE
FORTUNATE TO HAVE RESOURCES BUT
MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS
PANDEMIC HAS NOT HIT US ALL
EQUALLY. WE MUST LOOK FOR WAYS
WITHIN SOME WANT TO SUPPORT OUR
MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS I
LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING THE
BUDGET THAT MAKES HEALTH CARE
ACCESSIBLE TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE ONE THAT PROVIDES
EMERGENCY FOOD AND ADDRESSES
GROWING HUNGER. ONE THAT
ADDRESSES THE UNDER FUNDING AND
OUR DEVELOPMENTAL. SERVICES
SYSTEM AND ONE THAT TAKES BOLD
ACTION TO NOT ONLY DISRUPT BUT
TO BREAK DOWN SYSTEMIC RACISM
BAKED INTO THE STATE'S HEALTH
AND HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAMS.
THIS BUDGET WILL CONTINUE TO
PRIORITIZE INVESTMENTS THAT
FOCUS ON PREVENTION AND EARLY
INTERVENTION AND THAT MOVE US
UPSTREAM TO PROACTIVELY FACE
MANY OF THE COMPLEX AND VEXING
PROBLEMS IN OUR STATE. I AM
GRATEFUL TO THE MEMBERS OF THIS
COMMITTEE TO LEGISLATIVE
LEADERSHIP AND THE
ADMINISTRATION FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THIS BUDGET
FORWARD. I LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION
OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AS WE
HELP TO DELIVER A BUDGET THAT
WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF. A
BUDGET THAT STANDS FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. A CALIFORNIA FOR
ALL. THE ALL HERE IS IMPORTANT
AS THE HEALTH OF EACH OF US IS
DEPENDENT ON THE HEALTH OF ALL
OF US. DURING THE GREAT
DEPRESSION WE SAW GOVERNMENT
STEP IN AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR
THOSE WHO ARE MOST VULNERABLE
AND WHO FELL THROUGH THE SOCIAL
SAFETY NET. BY INVESTING IN ALL
AMERICANS THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE
SOCIAL SECURITY WE CAME OUT
STRONGER AND BETTER THAN BEFORE.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR CALIFORNIA
TO DO THE SAME BY STEPPING UP
LEADING AND INVESTING IN ALL
CALIFORNIANS. IN THIS PANDEMIC
OF THE CENTURY WE SAW
DISPARITIES BEAR OUT IN OUR
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND WE
MUST USE THIS MOMENT AS AN
ACCELERATED FOR CHANGE SO THAT
ALL OF US CAN RISE OUT OF THIS
PANDEMIC STRONGER THAN EVER. WE
MUST SUPPORT AND RESOURCE OUR
COMMUNITIES PARTICULARLY R. L.
INTELLECTUALLY AND
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR TO ADDRESS
THE HISTORICAL AND CURRENT
INEQUITIES AND DISPARITIES. AS
WE LOOK TO STRENGTHEN OUR
SOCIAL SAFETY NET WE SHOULD
LOOK TOWARDS PROGRAMS THAT
INVEST IN EQUITY PROGRAMS THAT
ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS
OF HEALTH AND CONTINUE OUR
STATE'S MOVEMENT TOWARDS HEALTH
FOR ALL. I AM REMINDED OF MLK'S

FULL BUDGET COMMITTEE I WANT TO

LEADERSHIP ON WORKING ON HOW WE
CAN ADVANCE AND INNOVATE MEDIC
CAL AS WELL AS HOW TO INVEST IN
THE YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO
TRANSFORM AND FUNDAMENTALLY
CHANGE THE SYSTEMS FOR THE
BETTER AND IT IS AN HONOR TO BE
A PART OF THE PROCESS AS WE

CHILDREN AND YOUTH BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH INITIATIVE. IN ADDITION

YOUTH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH THE
GOVERNOR'S INITIATIVE PROVIDES
AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY TO

KIND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM FOR KIDS. CALIFORNIA
MUST ALSO ACT NOW WITH GREAT
URGENCY TO ENSURE THAT KIDS
HAVE THE SUPPORTS THEY NEED
THIS YEAR IN ORDER TO
SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION BACK TO
SCHOOL AND RECOVER FROM THE
TRAUMA OF THIS PANDEMIC. THERE
ARE MANY INVESTMENTS UNDER
CONSIDERATION AND HUMAN
SERVICES INCLUDING THOSE THAT
SUPPORT CHILDREN SERVED IN OUR
CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM WHO HAVE
EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE AND DEEP
TRAUMA. WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS
TO ADDITIONALLY SUPPORT OUR
SENIORS PERSONS SERVED IN OUR
DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES SYSTEM
AND OUR IMMIGRANT BROTHERS AND
SISTERS. FINALLY WE WANT TO
MODERNIZE OUR CAL WORKS PROGRAM
THAT SERVES OUR POOREST
FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN LIVING
BELOW 50% OF THE FEDERAL
POVERTY LINE KNOWN AS DEEP
POVERTY. WE WANT TO MAKE THIS
PROGRAM MORE EMPATHETIC AND
HELPFUL AT THIS TIME OF GREAT
ECONOMIC STRUGGLE FOR SO MANY.
LET'S MAKE SURE THAT IT AND
EVERY SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAM IS
OPTIMALLY PREPARED TO HELP
ALLEVIATE POVERTY AND GIVE
EVERY PERSON BASIC SUPPORTS AND
ULTIMATELY AN OPPORTUNITY TO
BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY
WHICH IS SO INGRAINED AND CAST
ALONG RACIAL LINES IN OUR STATE.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT WE CAN
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THIS
PROGRAM AND I AM COMMITTED TO
GETTING US THERE. I WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR
INDULGENCE AND ACCEPTANCE OF
THE COUNTLESS HOURS THE LONG
HEARINGS AND FOR ALLOWING OUR
COMMITTEE TO BE WHERE THE
PEOPLE ARE HEARD. I ESPECIALLY

FOLLOWED BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MATHIS. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR-
JUST WANTED TO ITEMS AND I KNOW
I SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD TO
MY COLLEAGUES BUT- AGAIN ONE OF
THE THINGS IS JUST ABSOLUTELY.
COMPLETELY BAFFLES ME IS WHEN
WE REQUEST RATE STUDY TO BE
COMPLETED FOR THE IDT
POPULATION. AND IT DOES GET
COMPLETED AT A COST OF THREE
MILLION DOLLARS AND THEN IT
COMES OUT THREE YEARS AGO. AND
WE STILL HAVEN'T IMPLEMENTED.
DID WE WANT TO RAISE STUDY DID
WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR
DEFICIENCIES WERE TO SUPPORT
THIS PROP- POPULATION- YOU KNOW
HERE WE ARE IN A BUDGET SURPLUS
AND WE'VE MADE THESE PROMISES
EURO AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR TO
THIS POPULATION. AND THEY
DESERVE BETTER THAN THAT AND
YEAH YEAH IS A QUOTE FROM YOU
IS THIS ALIGNMENT STATE OR
WHAT. DO WE ACTUALLY FOLLOW.
WALK THE WALK AND TALK THE TALK
FOR THESE FOLKS- AND AGAIN I'M
HOPING THAT WE CAN ADDRESS
THIS. IF NOT HILL BY YOU A
BUDGET BABY BILL AND IN AUGUST
TO A KNOWLEDGE OF. THIS NEEDS
TO HAPPEN NEEDS TO STOP AND
HAPPEN NARAL OF THESE FOLKS ARE
A PRIORITY THERE PRIORITY TO
ALL OF US. SECOND ONE IS I WAS
JUST MADE AWARE YESTERDAY AND I
APOLOGIZE FOR THE LATE NOTICE
THE STATE HOSPITALS HAS MADE MY
COUNTY. AND SACRAMENTO COUNTY-
SUBJECT TO. OF RECEIVING UP TO
TEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
MENTAL PATIENTS THROUGH THE
CALENDAR. AND THEY'RE GONNA
STOP OF SUPPLYING THE MONEY TO
KAISER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
THE SERVICES. BY TONY IS NOT
PREPARED FOR THIS AMOUNT OF
ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH
PATIENTS. THIS IS REMINISCENT
OF THE REAGAN ERA. THIS IS
ALMOST WHAT WE DID TO THE
DISABLED- ID POPULATION WITH
THE DEVELOPMENTAL CENTERS. WERE
WERE GETTING RID OF SERVICES
AND WERE A- KNOWLEDGE AND
MAKING LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. A
TAKE ON A LOOK OF GOOD THAT DID
WITH THE EIGHTIES WITH MENTAL
HEALTH OF THE HOMELESS. CRISIS
WE HAVE NOW UNDERGOING
EXACERBATE THAT IN THESE TWO
COUNTIES WHICH ARE ALREADY.
GONE SO I'M HOPING THROUGH THE
CHAIR AND THIS COMMITTEE THAT
WE CAN ADDRESS THIS CALLIN
ISSUE WITH. A SLOW CARRY
SACRAMENTO COUNTY- BECAUSE
AGAIN- YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A
CRISIS THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MATHIS FOLLOWED BY SOME
REMEMBER. GREAT MINDS THINK
ALIKE MISTER FRAZIER- WITH IT
WITH THE- YOUR LAST POINT I
DON'T THINK IT'S JUST THOSE TWO
COUNTIES I THINK WE DEFINITELY
NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT THAT'S
GOING TO AFFECT STATE WIDE- TO
ENSURE WE DON'T HAVE THAT
TRAVESTY AGAIN. I'D ALSO LIKE
TO ECHO THE POINTS- FOR RDT
COMMUNITY- AS MR FRAZIER
ALREADY SAID BUT- YEAH WE
DIDN'T. VOTE ON THIS ISSUE
RIGHT NOW IT WASN'T ON OUR
AGENDA TODAY AND WE ALL KNOW
IT'S A HIGH PRIORITY. SO TO
GOING DEEPER I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE MONEY THAT THE TWENTY
NINETEEN. PROVIDER RATE STUDY
SHOWS IS NEEDED. IN TWENTY
NINETEEN DDS ISSUED A STUDY
THAT ESTIMATED SERVICE
PROVIDERS WERE. UNDERFUNDED BY
ONE POINT EIGHT BILLION EVERY
YEAR THE CAN TO MY COLLEAGUE
MISTER FREIGHTERS POINT WE ARE
IN A HUGE BUDGET SURPLUS. THE
TWENTY NINETEEN BUDGET THEN
PROVIDED LESS THAN 25% OF THE
AT AMOUNT. NOW THE GAP IS
AROUND EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION THE GENERAL FUND. ONE
POINT FOUR BILLION WITH FEDERAL
FUNDS THAT IS THE AMOUNT NEEDED
TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE WITH
INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES A QUALITY SERVICES
IN PLACE TO HELP THEM LIVE
INDEPENDENTLY. IT IS DIFFICULT
TO UNDERSTAND HOW. THE MAY
REVISION HAS NO PROPOSAL TO
FUND THE RATE IT'S THAT THE
STUDY SHOWS ARE NEEDED. THE
GOVERNOR'S TALK ABOUT HOW HIS
HISTORIC THIS BUDGET IS AS WE
JUST TALKED ABOUT IN THE
OPENING. HOWEVER WHAT WOULD. BE
TRULY HISTORIC. IS IF WE
FINALLY STOPPED SHORT CHANGING
SERVICES TOWARD THE COMMUNITY.
I'M SURE THAT MANY OF MY
COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE AISLE
SHARE MY CONCERNS SUCH AS MY
DEAR COLLEAGUE MISTER FRAZIER.
THIS IS A COMMUNITY THAT WE ALL
WANT TO HELP. RELEASED WE SAY
WE WANT TO HELP. I'D BE
PREPARED TO VOTE TODAY THE FUN
THE ENTIRE RATE STUDY. BUT I'M
HOPING WE CAN FIND IN AGREEMENT
WITH ALL MEMBERS SO I HOPE WE
CAN KEEP TALKING ABOUT THIS IN
THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND THEN
APPROVED THE RATE INCREASES
NEXT WEEK AT OUR FULL BUDGET
COMMITTEE HEARING MR FRAZIER I
DO RESPECT THE POINT ABOUT A
TRAILER BILL FOR AUGUST BUT I
THINK. IS DIRE IS THIS ISSUE IS
THE FACT THAT WE ALL HAVE ALL
BEEN DISCUSSING THIS FOR OVER
SEVEN YEARS ON IT WE PUSH TO
GET THE STUDY WE GOT THE STUDY
WE KNOW WHAT THE STUDY SAYS. IT
AGAIN TO QUOTE GERMAN ARAMBULA
ARE WE ALIGNMENT STATE OR NOT
MEMBERS. I REST MY CASE.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ALMOST THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN THIS ONE-
SAY SOME BRIEF COMMENTS AND ALL
COMMENTS LEADING UP TO- THE
NEXT MEETING WITH A FULL
BUDGET- COMMITTEE CERTAINLY
SEEN- THE MENTAL HEALTH AND THE
YOUTH COMPONENT BEING PART OF
WHAT THE MINISTRATION WITH HIS
BODY DISCUSSES IS REALLY
SOMETHING THAT'S OVER DUE TO
MAKE SURE THAT OUR YOUTH I HAVE
THE MENTAL RESOURCES THAT THEY
NEED AND PUTTING THE
STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER THAT WE
WOULD INCLUDE. THE EDUCATION-
ARENA AS WELL AS PARENTS AND
OTHERS THAT ARE THERE THAT ARE
THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE WITH
OUR YOUTH THAT COULD BE
SUFFERING ARE ARE SUFFERING.
WITH GREAT NEEDS SOME FOR
MENTAL HEALTH AND RESOURCES
THAT ARE THERE AND ALSO JUST
WANT TO CONTINUE TO PUSH ON THE
OFFICE OF SUICIDE PREVENTION IN
THE FUNDING FOR THE RESOURCES
THAT ARE THERE WE HEARD IT-
DISCUSS WITH MANY PANELISTS
THAT CAME UP BEFORE THIS- THIS
BODY THAT TALKED ABOUT IT AN
AREA WHERE ALL THESE RESOURCES
CAN BE FUNNELED TO SO THEN
WE'RE NOT PULLING FROM
DIFFERENT AREAS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE THAT THERE IS A- AN AREA.
THAT WE CAN GET ALL THESE
RESOURCES TO IMPORT FROM THAT
DATA AND I BELIEVE THAT THE
OFFICE OF SUICIDE PREVENTION IS
ESTABLISHED TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT- THE FUNDING COMPONENT OF
IT WE TALKED ABOUT HERE- IT'S
GREAT TO SEE THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS SEEN THE
MERITS OF THAT BUT I WOULD
ALSO- CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE AN OPEN MIND WITH MY
COLLEAGUES AS WE GO INTO THE
NEXT DISCUSSION WITH A FULL
BUDGET- COMMITTEE ITSELF. SO
IT'S- SOMETHING THIS IS
DRASTICALLY NEEDED TO CONTINUE
TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND
THE RESOURCES ARE THERE BECAUSE
NOW MORE THAN EVER WE'RE SEEING
THE IMPACT NOT ONLY JUST ON THE
WHOLE POPULATION BUT SEVERELY
ON OUR YOUTH POPULATION IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA SOMEONE
THANK YOU FOR. ALLOWING US TO
BRING THOSE ISSUES UP AND FOR
THE SOMEBODY TO TAKE THOSE-
INTO CONSIDERATION AND MOVING.
FORWARD WITH THE ADVOCACY OF
THOSE ISSUES. THANK YOU
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WAS. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR- I REALLY
APPRECIATE- THE CONVERSATION

HAS BEEN- AND AN AGREEMENT THIS
WHOLE ENTIRE TIME ABOUT WHAT
THE PRIORITIES ARE AND BUT I
WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT- YOU
KNOW WHERE I AN UNPRECEDENTED
TIMES THAT'S OUR FAVORITE WORD-
AND WE HAVE MONEY THAT- WAS
NOT- PROJECTED. UP BY MY
OPINION ON AND I'VE SAID THIS
BEFORE- THIS MONEY IS NOT
EXTRA- THERE'S MANY PROGRAMS
ESPECIALLY AND HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES THAT HAVE BEEN CUT
THERE WERE CUT IN TWO THOUSAND
AND EIGHT. WHEN WE WENT TO OUR
OUR BUDGET CRISIS THOSE
PROGRAMS HAVE NOT A LOT OF THEM
HAVE NOT BE REINSTATED BEEN
REINSTATED WE CANNOT SAY IT'S
EXTRA MONEY UNTIL WE AKE ALL
OF THOSE PROGRAMS HOLE- IT'S A-
REWARDING TO BE HERE BUT IT'S
ALSO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE WE
KEEP FIGHTING OVER THINGS THAT
SHOULD HAVE BEEN. EITHER
REINSTATED OR HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTED BUT TO THAT I WANT
TO THANK MY- COLLEAGUES ON THIS

THOSE REASONS ALL. THANK YOU
BYE ARE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT
PHASE OF THE BUDGET WE STILL
CONTENT NEED TO CONTINUE TO
FIGHT FOR THOSE PRIORITIES THAT
WE OUTLINED IN THE BEGINNING. A
BUDGET IS NOT- EXTRA MONEY IF
THE PROGRAMS THAT WE CUT HAVE
NOT BEING REINSTATED IN A LOT

CUT AND HAVE NOT BEEN
REINSTATED IN THIS COMMITTEE-
ARE THOSE. BAD REALLY SUPPORT

INSUFFICIENT. NUMBER OF ITEMS
THAT ARE NEEDED FOR WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT FOR PERSONS ON AYE
HSS AYE CHIP AYE HSS RECIPIENTS-
AND I THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE A
SERIOUS LOOK. AT THE STATE
AUDITOR'S REPORT AND UNDERSTAND
THAT THERE'S A SERIOUS SHORTAGE
OF PROVIDERS. AND THE IDEA OF
THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY WAS
NOT NECESSARILY AS A CAREER
PATH AS I AGES THAT PROVIDERS
TO GO INTO HOME HEALTH. BECAUSE
WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THE MODEL
OF THE- THE MEDICAL MODEL FOR-
I AGES THAT HAPPENED ACROSS THE
STATE- REALLY I PERSONALLY FEEL
THAT I AGES THAT. AND H. C. B.
S. H. C. B. S. WE NEED TO BE.
DEVOLVED FROM A MEDICAL MODEL
EVEN THOUGH I AGES THAT
FOLLOWED THE SOCIAL MODEL WILL
BE WE SEEM TO BE GOING ALONG
THE WAY OF. CAREER PATH FOR
AGES THAT PROVIDERS TO MOVE UP
THE LADDER TO HOME HEALTH BUT
WE NEED LONG TERM WORKERS WHO
ARE WILLING TO WORK FOR US IN
THE COMMUNITY. SO I HOPE THAT
YOU'LL BE ADDRESSING THE
WORKFORCE SHORTAGE ISSUE- AS
STATED IN THE STATE AUDITOR'S
REPORT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
LITERALLY. GOING WITHOUT CARE
AND NOT GETTING THEIR MEAT
NEEDS MET AS ELL AS NOT
HAVING- COMPETENT INDIVIDUALS
THAT ARE NON RELATIVE PROVIDERS
PROVIDING THE CARE- COMING
THROUGH THE DOOR FOR INTERVIEWS.
AND PART OF THAT IS THE
PROVIDER WAGES THERE NEEDS TO
