DESCRIPTION:Stop Destroying Medi-Cal and Healthcare\nFor Poor and Working-Class 
 Californians!\n\nDemonstration: Wednesday, August 19, 9 AM\nFederal 
 Building, 450 Golden Gate,\nBetween Polk and Larkin\n\nHealth advocates are 
 suing  California to restore Medi-Cal patients’ so-called “optional 
 benefits.” OPTIONAL FOR WHOM?   Ask the 2.5 million Medicare recipients 
 living on less than $1,000 per month, if it’s OK to lose these 
 services!\n\n•	Is it OK to lose your teeth and not be able to eat right, 
 because of no dental care? \n \n•	Is it OK for diabetics to loose feet 
 and legs, because of no foot care?\n\n•	Is it OK to not have glasses or 
 loose your sight, because of no eye exams?\n\n•	Is it OK not to hear your 
 family or friends, because of no hearing testing?\n\n•	Is it OK for 
 victims of stroke, or MS to become mute, because of no speech 
 therapy?\n\n•	Is it OK for troubled people to become badly mentally ill, 
 because of no psychologists?\n\nWhere will this stop? Already 900,000 kids 
 will be denied medical care. Already there are severe cuts to Community 
 Clinics, HIV/AIDS Prevention and Treatment Programs,  Maternal, Child and 
 Adolescent Care, IHSS, Regional Centers, Child Welfare Service Program, 
 Mental Health, and  Adult Day Care.\n\nMany of these cuts are permanent. 
 The current budget crisis is only an excuse to permanently tear away the 
 social safety net we spend decades fighting for!   \n\nThe Governor and 
 Legislature give corporations and the rich billions in tax breaks, while 
 forcing cuts that will kill us!  No More! Make the Bosses Take the 
 Losses!\n\nJoin Gray Panthers and other groups to demand restoration of the 
 Medi-Cal optional benefits and other vital health and human services.
