Look forward to meaningful discussions to make sure any transactions protect consumers and patients who need health care services. #AB3129 #CALeg

They truly are the best in the business! We are incredibly lucky to have them.

I don't want private equity even nibbling in health care unless they show it's in the public interest. #AB3129 gives our AG the ability to consent, consent with conditions or deny these acquisitions. It's all happening under the radar now. wsj.com/health/healthc… via The Wall Street Journal

MENDOCINO COUNTY folks be aware.

We can't wait one more day to have the ability to review these acquisitions. #AB3129 gives our AG the ability to protect the public from monopolies that result in increased health care costs and premium increases. Protect #HealthCareAffordabilityandAccess

The #WallStreetJournal has written several articles recently about the dangers of private equity acquisitions in health care. It's happening all across the nation. California can do something about it with #AB3129. #CALeg

Above and beyond #firefighters

85 and 86 always there for #Sonomacounty #pointfire

#pointfire near #Healdsburg at 1100 acres with 20% containment. Expect a lot of aircraft fighting this fire today as the terrain is very rugged. Winds will pick up this PM and humidity will drop to near 10%. Critical day - thankful for ⁦CAL FIRE LNU⁩ and all firefighters

Love this…..

I have a record of always putting patients first. We need oversight because there is none now. #AB3129 ensures that if private equity does take over a health care entity that it does not result in a monopoly that removes regional competition & uses its leverage to increase costs.

And the hits to consumers keep coming “Insulin is a major driver of the cost of drugs. The branded versions of insulin …… are two of the costliest drugs identified in the report.” It costs too much! California Governor production of insulin by the state will lower cost for patients.

How do you think Wilson, Wood and Zbur feel?……

2015! Forever bonded as friends with this crew.

Feels like Private Equity on a mission to take over everything. They are playing in child care, hospice, veterinary care, and of course health care. This can lead to #highercosts #decreasedaccess #lowerquality But hey those PE firms will make a ton of money. FTC take a look!

California must be the leader. We can’t wait another day to begin reviewing private equity investments in health care. Read my press release to see what FTC Chair Lina Khan says about #AB3129. tinyurl.com/mucbhdn7

The 2nd Extraordinary Session has been called and I'm a member of the Petroleum and Gasoline Supply Committee. First of 3 hearings is 9/18. The Assembly is holding public hearings to give people a voice on this critical issue. It’s what Californians expect, & we need to deliver.”

I’m ready to get to work with my Assembly and Senate colleagues to make sure we deliver real results that bring stability to gas prices for hard-working Californians.

This is California's opportunity to lead on protecting patients from potential adverse effects of private equity's transactions in health care. Their focus is profits for their companies--my focus is patients access to affordable & quality health care. Which do you want?
