deanna from the 70 clinic >> we should make everyone perspective autopsy i'm the president of the clinic consortium i wanted to raise an issue related to the prenatal initiative of the goals conditioning on continuing to talk about the prenatal care in the governors proposed budget he released in january we got it a proposal killed to move a certain percentage of women who right now get pregnancy only on medi-cal and were left out of full scope medi-cal into the exchange instead of leaving them in medi-cal the reason it's important and hesitate pro tem is state will pay their premiums
9:12 am
in the exchange so one hand it is for women to get the full scope vs. on pregnancy in medi-cal the problem is the con ceremonies i'm assuming the clinics use some time something called the comprehensive prenatal services program to provide supportive services to woman particularly focused on women in protecting community for example, this is the mission neighborhood has muni illogical support groups for women to stay healthy during their pregnancy and dealing with smoke and weight control in a culture comfortable setting so far as those women this program has produced great result but if you
9:13 am
move the women so what an challenge we'll lose the program the governor said she can e, go through the challenge ensue it is ingratiated so a woman might be getting her prenatal care now they're saying he is qualified i left my heart in san francisco provides the same care by the health providers that have not had the experience may not have the experience and again, the culture linguistic capacity and history of providing those services i'm you're going i think we're in this together it's dpw and the consortium clinics that was let's open in the first round of the budget
