Last week on Zoom I saw an inspiring kickoff that Jews United for Justice (#JUFJ) held to focus on the upcoming #Maryland assembly session. What inspired me most was the news that CASA is advocating for all Maryland residents, including the undocumented, to be covered by Medicaid or state exchanges. This would be life changing for many, especially my #immigrant patients on #dialysis.
