Earlier this week, our very own Njeri McGee-Tyner joined Bay Area healthcare leaders—including our member health center Asian Health Services and the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley—in Oakland to highlight the importance of securing health coverage during Covered California's Open Enrollment period, which runs through January 31, 2026.
“People are facing some hard choices … some will have to switch to generic (medications) or see a new provider, but that may be a better option than paying triple their premium.” - shared Njeri
Njeri and our Healthcare Access team work hand‑in‑hand with our community health centers every day to help individuals navigate the increasingly complex landscape of healthcare and safety‑net program enrollment—challenges that continue to grow amid federal funding cuts and shifting access to care.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a leader who reminded us that justice, dignity, and compassion are not optional values, but moral imperatives.
Dr. King’s vision lives on in our commitment to equitable, accessible, and compassionate care for all. Access to healthcare is a civil right. When we work to eliminate disparities, listen to our communities, and stand up for those most impacted by injustice, we carry his work forward.
On this Day, let us recommit ourselves to service, to courage, and to the belief that together we can build healthier communities rooted in respect and humanity.

Rising healthcare premiums hit low-income and working Californians the hardest—putting affordable care further out of reach. But the impact goes far beyond coverage. As premiums climb, families are forced to make impossible tradeoffs between healthcare, rent, groceries, and peace of mind. Many are already making these difficult decisions.

Our own Njeri McGee-Tyner, Senior Director of Healthcare Access, highlights this growing confusion and anxiety in a recent The The New York Times, drawing directly from what patients across our member community health centers are experiencing. Njeri and her Healthcare Access team work alongside our every day to help people navigate the increasingly complex process of enrolling in healthcare and safety-net programs—challenges that are only intensifying amid federal cuts and shifting access to care.
Read more below to see what Njeri and other experts in the field are saying.
