PAC & Forth Episode 11: Greg Wallis & Heath Flora

In this episode of PAC & Forth, we sit down with Assemblymember Greg Wallis (Coachella Valley) and Assemblymember Heath Flora, the Assembly Republican Leader from the northern San Joaquin Valley. Both bring a frontline view of inland California, where access to healthcare is shrinking and physicians are leaving.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on:

• The access-to-care crisis where the nearest specialist can be hours away.
• The coastal versus inland divide and why one-size-fits-all policy fails.
• Why the ACA’s promise to reduce ER reliance never fully materialized.
• Why physicians must engage legislators early, not after a bill is moving.

A grounded look from two legislators at the gap between what gets debated in Sacramento and what actually reaches the clinic.

If you care about access in inland California and the policymakers willing to fight for it, this is a must-listen.

Tune in to hear how two legislators on the front lines are pushing for policy that actually reaches patients.
