Fresno Flyer Vol 4 No 12 by Fresno Flyer

EDITOR’S NOTE You may have noticed some new content in our pages, and if you follow us on Facebook, online as well, that is of a more serious nature. Recently, Fresno Flyer became media partners to a non-profit organization, CalMatters, based in Sacramento. Here’s a snippet about them, pulled directly from their website. “CalMatters is a nonpartisan, non-profit journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.” Over the years, the publisher and I have felt an increasing need to offer more in-depth journalism covering a broad range of topics that we can provide for free to our readers. As you know, issues are firing off left and right, seemingly all the time, and popping up overnight. Some of which are local to us in the Central Valley and some that aren’t. There are tons of conversations happening out there that could directly affect us. Yet, it isn’t reaching into every neighborhood, to as many people as it should.

Fresno Flyer is still a small operation. We don’t have the resources, at least not yet, to offer all of that deep-dive style of coverage ourselves. That takes a much larger team and an even larger budget to achieve. So, connecting with a nonpartisan, independent, non-profit organization running full-speed ahead to inform and connect Californians to important statewide issues felt like a perfect fit to meet that need. We don’t get paid to run their articles, and they don’t charge anyone to read them either. Some other local publications and platforms run CalMatters stories in the Central Valley, but we’re the only printed medium that offers it for free. And if you want to know who else is a media partner, or learn more about the organization, you can check out their website at CalMatters.org And if you’re not into the new addition, tell us why. Remember, we can’t exist without you, the reader. Your feedback is important to us, so don’t hesitate to let us know how we’re doing.

Mmm... Donuts! Meet the Hanford Couple Bringing Gourmet Treats to the South Valley By Dave Fountinelle | dave@fresnoflyer.com

ucked away in a strip mall near the corner of 10th and Fargo in Hanford is a humble little shop taking the beloved donut to the next level. Since opening in December 2019, Donut Cafe quickly became one of Hanford’s best-kept secrets. Their creations are the stuff of Instagram-dreams. Chocolate glazed donuts topped with chunks of brownies and chocolate chip cookies, drizzled over with chocolate sauce, s’ mores donuts topped with graham crackers and toasted marshmallows, purple-glazed cotton candy-flavored donuts with pink sprinkles, are but just a few of what the café offers. These aren’t your typical, pink-box-in-the-breakroom donuts. For owners, Cham and Michelle Mak, breaking the mold and thinking outside the (pink) box is their mission state-

ment. “We came up with the idea of opening a gourmet donut shop back in 2015,” Michelle says. “I would see these amazing, beautiful donuts on Instagram, and I told Cham, ‘We can do that!’ and he said ‘ok, but if we’re going to do it, then we’re going to do it right.” Cham had the experience of working at his brother’s donut shop for about ten years. It was the job he held since he immigrated to America from Cambodia at 14 years old. While other kids only worried about homework and making time to hang out with their friends, Cham was holding down two jobs. A typical day for him began at 3 am, making donuts with his brother. | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

Then class all day at Lemoore High School. Then a second job after school at the Mobil gas station. Finally, he would come home, finish his homework, go to bed, and do it again the next day. “I’ve known Cham for over ten years, and he’s never taken a day off,” Michelle says. When Michelle first suggested opening their donut shop with a gourmet twist, Cham wanted to improve on the knowledge and experience he had gained at his brother’s shop. His goal was to create a donut that was truly worthy of the “gourmet” label. “I had been working on my own recipe for a few years,” Cham explains. “Most donut shops use a pre-packaged dry mix that

already has everything in it, and you just add water and mix. But I make everything from scratch, with fresh milk and eggs and all-natural ingredients. That’s the only way I want to do it.” Besides using only fresh ingredients, Cham also developed secret methods for preparing a dough that produces a donut with fewer air holes than the typical pre-mix kind. The result is a donut that’s spongy, fluffy, and melts in your mouth. And the flavor is absolute decadence. The quality is most evident in their standard glazed donut - the simple flavor lays bare all the dedication and care in their craft. Cham takes pride in his work, and it shows.

GUIDE YOURSELF TO HEALTHY By Nadine Pourier Blumenshine npbwellnesscoach@gmail.com

o, we’re nearly five months into a wholly modified lifestyle. There’s so much out of our control, and we’re being bounced around by mandates, indecision, and uncertainties. How can anyone stay healthy, let alone try to improve their health? Sometimes just getting through a single day without eating too many chips is a win! The way to guide your healthy self is to understand just what it is that you can control. And, honestly, it begins in your head, with your thoughts. I don’t mean to say that you can control them all of the time, but if you can start to see what you’re telling yourself, it will go far in supporting your health. If you spend time getting after yourself for not doing the healthy actions you think you should be doing, you’re letting those thoughts control you, defeat you. The negative thoughts stop you before you even start. The more you express self-defeating messages, the more they will become a part of you, to the point where you think you can’t care for yourself healthfully. There’s a good chance you’ll give up even trying to make healthy choices. But, if you’re able to stop those messages (“I’m so lazy for not getting up to exercise”) in their tracks, then truthfully assess what’s really going on (“I honestly don’t like exercising in the morning”), you will take control and are more likely to make choices that work for you and your health.

...‘Donuts’ cont’d from pg 3 Donut Cafe is truly a labor of love for the couple. They spent years saving money and meticulously planning every aspect of their business. The start-up process even included patience in waiting for the owner of their location to agree to sell. All that work paid off when they opened for business in early December 2019. Word of mouth spread quickly, and their customer base grew steadily. Then the COVID-19 pandemic brought the economy to a grinding halt. “It has definitely been tough,” Michelle says. “As you can see, looking around here, we are still in the process of remodeling the store the way we want it. But that’s on hold because everything we make right now is just going towards keeping the doors open month-to-month until things hopefully return to normal soon.” Some spikes in business for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day have helped keep the bills paid. Still, the shutdowns have been devastating even for well-established businesses. Statistically, even under ideal circumstances, most small businesses fail in their first year. To start a new business while also being hammered by a catastrophic economic and public health crisis creates an almost insur-

mountable challenge. “Yes, it is definitely a scary time right now.” Michelle says, “But honestly if there’s anyone who can make it through all of this, it’s Cham. Nobody works harder than he does. I feel like there’s nothing we can’t handle.” Indeed, Michelle’s optimism is both infectious and inspiring, and her positive energy fills the room. Theirs is truly an inspirational story. Cham came to America in his teens. Michelle, who’s family immigrated from Brazil. Planning, working and saving to turn their dream of owning their own business into a reality before their 30th

birthdays. And, not for nothing, but they’ve created something truly noteworthy. “I know people always say ‘made with love’ but our donuts really are made with love,” Michelle beams. “We love what we do. We just want to share that love with everybody.” Despite the uncertainty that the pandemic has created, Cham and Michelle continue to look ahead and plan for the future. The remodeling project that has been on hold previously resumes in a week. And when the shutdowns finally disappear for good, their plan is for Donut Cafe to be a social place. A place where friends can meet for breakfast, regulars can hang out on their laptops, and people can come in, get a donut, a coffee or boba tea, and chill out. “And, of course, we’re going to keep coming up with unique and creative donut ideas,” Michelle adds. “Our goal is always to push ourselves to create something beautiful, delicious, and of course, Instagram worthy!” Donut Cafe is located at 2455 N 10th Ave, in Hanford. You can follow them on Facebook and Instagram @donutcafehanford to see samples of their mouth-watering creations. They are open for carryout orders, and you can also call ahead at (559) 670-0057 for curbside pickup.

Answers to last issue’s puzzles

Fun Facts The Food Edition

1. Bananas protect against type II diabetes, aid weight loss, strengthen the nervous system and keep blood sugars stead but less people know what eating them can actually help fight depression. The fruit contains high levels of tryptophan, which converts into serotonin - a type of chemical in our brain that influences mood. 2. Ever wondered why peppers are hot? It’s because of capsaicin, a chemical compound, that tricks your sensory nerves causing you to feel like your mouth is being burned. 3. Nobody thought to eat chicken wings before the invention of buffalo wings in 1964. They were largely considered the worst parts a chicken could have, and were mostly used as stock for soup or outright discarded. 4. Chicken contains 266% more fat now than it did 40 years ago. That’s 33% less protein and that’s all down to our modern day farming methods. That’s why it’s always

best to opt for free-range or organic meat.

5. German chocolate cake is not German. Despite it’s name, it’s actually American. The cake got its name from its creator, Sam German. It was originally called “Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate,” but the name was shortened as the years passed. 6. The M’s in M&M’s stand for Mars & Murrie, the co-creators of the sweet. The chocolates debuted in 1941 and are one of the best selling sweets of all time. 7. It was not until the 1700’s until tomato sauce was included with spaghetti in Italian kitchens. 8. In Bologna, they consider using spaghetti a ridiculous bastardization of the original dish, which uses tagliatelle. Tagliatelle is a wider, flatter type of pasta. 9. Apples, pears, cherries, plums, apricots, raspberries, strawberries and peaches are all members of the rose family, officially known as the Rosacea group. | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

10. Banana “trees” are actually giant herbs. Their trunks are made of tightened leaves, not wood. 11. Sausages are older than the Bible. The first written mention of sausages is in 4,000-year-old texts from the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia. 12. Wasabi, that spicy green paste that acts as the perfect accompaniment to your Tuna Sashimi is not, in fact, always what you think. More often than not, it’s actually flavored horse radish. 13. Gatorade was originally made by University of Florida’s physicians to combat fatigue among players of one specific football team, The Florida Gators. 14. The term Neapolitan Ice Cream originated in the U.S. in the late 19th century, and is presumably a reference to the 3 layered ice cream cakes of Tortoni, a Neapolitan.

OPINION

PART III By I. smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

t’s like we’re winning the race for losers every single day our COVID-19 numbers rage. There are now over 16 million cases and 650,000 deaths worldwide, but the U.S. is leading the way with over a quarter of those cases and about 150,000 deaths. Lately, we have lost 1000 Americans a day because of the coronavirus. Here in Fresno County, we now have over 13,000 cases with hundreds of people in our hospitals fighting for their lives at this very moment. President Trump was right when he told us that his presidency would leave us tired of winning. I know I’m tired. Are you tired of winning yet? We all should be incredibly tired of this president’s lack of leadership during this historic deadly pandemic that has shaken our country to its core. Instead of playing politics and the blame game when this viral threat emerged within our borders, President Trump and his administration should have taken this viral threat seriously. They should have acted swiftly to curtail it’s spread and threat. And, one of the proven best ways to fight the coronavirus is (you guessed it): wear a mask. We’ve been talking about this for months now, and it’s a no-brainer. If everyone had correctly worn a mask in public at the onset of this pandemic, our COVID numbers would be drastically lower than they are now. And there would be countless thousands alive today because of it. But we didn’t. Months into this health crisis, and we still aren’t. Americans still aren’t wearing masks or taking this virus seriously. Our astronomical numbers show this very clearly

- but you see this firsthand every day in town as you go about your business. Things have gotten so bad that there is serious talk about another shelter-in-place lockdown. Science supports wearing masks to reduce the spread of COVID, which is why the CDC and WHO and every other health agency and official around the world highly recommend wearing one in public - whether inside our outside. Why? Since asymptomatic and presymptomatic infected individuals can spread the virus without feeling or looking sick by merely opening their mouths, wearing masks in public can protect you from others and others from you. Now that it is common knowledge that the coronavirus can spread as an airborne aerosol and that its infectious particles can stay suspended in the air by a cough or a sneeze - or even simply just by talking - you can begin to understand that, although social distancing is essential - it’s just not enough. A cough or a sneeze can send infectious particles flying like a ballistic projectile, and loud talking or laughing can spew virus in an invisible cloud for several feet around you. This can happen even when you’re outside. Yes, good ventilation and fresh air are important - but fresh air doesn’t stop viruses. Which is why wearing a mask is so crucial. So, when the president publicly downplays the importance of wearing a mask and instead promotes an individual’s

freedom not to wear one, it undermines our progress and endangers our nation. It doesn’t matter if he puts one on for a quick photoshoot or hesitantly recommends that people wear them. People can read between the lines, and everyone knows that actions speak louder than words. This is why we must lead by exam-

ple. We believers in science who love our nation and who want to promote life and liberty need to take a stand and proudly wear our masks when out in public. But we need to wear them correctly. When I say “correctly,” I mean that we need to cover up both our nose and chin when wearing our masks so that they fit snugly against our faces. We can’t have any air gaps or open spaces between our faces and mask. Believe it or not, there is a right way and a wrong way to wear one. So, if your mask is not completely covering up your nose and mouth so that all the air you breathe and exhale is filtered by it, you’re wearing it wrong. Simple as that. This is important because, for example, if you only cover your mouth, but you’re not covering up your nose, you could potentially inhale coronavirus particles through your nose when around an infected person - even with your mask on! Wearing a mask incorrectly is like wearing no mask at all. The City of Fresno understands this surprisingly well, as demonstrated by its recent citywide implementation of stricter face mask laws. Introduced by District 7 Coun-

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

cilmember Nelson Esparza and passed with a 5-1 city council vote on July 16th, Bill No. B-24 amended Section 2-514 of the Fresno Municipal Code, Response to COVID-19 Emergency, specifically addressing masks: “In addition to social distancing guidelines that may be required by law, all businesses, government facilities, and employers throughout the city, shall require employees and customers, vendors and others to wear cloth face coverings…when interacting with other people, whether indoors or outdoors. Facial coverings must cover both mouth and nose…” Cover your mouth and your nose. That’s the most critical part of Masks for Dummies. Last month, I shared a video on how to quickly and easily make an effective face mask in case you don’t already have one. What’s important here is multiple layers. The more layers, the better. If the cloth mask you’re wearing is only made of one single layer, it probably isn’t doing a great job. So, the next important tip of Masks for Dummies to remember is: make sure your cloth mask contains multiple layers of material. Or, if single-layer cloth masks are all you have, double them up. The mask(s) you wear must be effective, especially when the fabric isn’t medical-grade N-95 respirator material (which we’ll talk about next time). Isn’t it funny to say that masked men and women are going to save the world, but isn’t that what all superheroes do? When you put on your mask, you are the superhero. When you put on your mask, you are saving lives.

“Go on Medi-Cal to get that”: Why Californians with mental illness are dropping private insurance to get taxpayer-funded treatment Teresa Pasquini looks into the foyer of her home where her son, who has schizoaffective disorder, once attempted suicide before being discovered by his younger sister.

n dozens of interviews, families, attorneys, judges, therapists and public officials agree: People with serious mental illnesses often do better dropping private insurance and qualifying for taxpayer-funded treatment. There’s an open secret among those who care for people with serious mental illnesses. Judy Bracken first heard it a few years ago from a hospital social worker: If Bracken wanted her adult son, who has schizoaffective disorder, to receive long-term mental health treatment, she should get him off her private insurance, UnitedHealthcare, and onto the public system for low-income people in Contra Costa County. Lucinda Chiszar figured it out when she tried to take her then 10-year-old son, who was insured by Aetna, to the only nonprofit agency in Merced County that offered the intensive wrap-around services the county’s behavioral health services said he needed. “Oh, you’re not on Medi-Cal?” someone at the agency asked. “We can’t help you.” Other families say they hear it whispered by well-meaning caseworkers, or even directly from the health plans themselves. In dozens of interviews, families, attorneys, judges, therapists and public officials agree: People with serious mental illnesses often do better dropping private insurance and qualifying for taxpayer-funded treatment. It seems counterintuitive. “If someone was to develop lung cancer, it’s hard to imagine that one of the other insurers would say, ‘You’re going to

need to get on Medi-Cal to get that paid for,’” said Dr. Tom Insel, former director of the National Institute of Mental Health, who has advised Gov. Gavin Newsom. Such stories provide further fodder for the debate about how to best enforce the state and federal parity laws that guarantee patients equivalent coverage for physical and mental health treatment. They also reveal the limits of those laws. In many cases, commercial insurers aren’t legally required to offer the intensive mental health services available through Medi-Cal. This open secret exposes troubling questions: What should private insurance cover? What should the state — and thereby taxpayers — pay for? Who’s responsible for ensuring people with serious mental illnesses get the treatment they need? Counties that administer Medi-Cal are tired of it. “We’ve let the private commercial plans off the hook pretty significantly,” said Michelle Cabrera, executive director of the County Behavioral Health Directors Association of California. “It’s time for a cometo-Jesus conversation.” As the coronavirus pandemic and economic downturn puts increasing pressure on people’s mental health, she said counties have seen more privately insured individuals seeking crisis services. The insurance industry denies there’s a problem. Mary Ellen Grant, spokesperson for the California Association of Health Plans, said she surveyed the commercial plans represented by her organization and none were familiar with the phenomenon. “We’re not aware of any existing evidence that long-term mental health care needs are better served by county mental | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

health agencies, nor in which counties this alleged trend is happening,” she said. Commercial mental health plans have been providing comprehensive coverage for severe mental illness for decades, Grant said, and some plans have begun to provide wrap-around services, in-home crisis intervention and intensive therapeutic behavioral programs. “There’s a lot of great work that they’re doing,” she said. “And I don’t think it’s helpful to say county mental health plans are providing better services than commercial health plans, because commercial health plans are doing their best.” And, yet, many insist that’s exactly what’s happening. Los Angeles attorney and psychotherapist Meiram Bendat says he’s seen, through cases he’s taken on, that insurers not only know about the issue — which he likens to “patient dumping” — but sometimes actively encourage it. He calls the practice prevalent, “simply inexcusable” and, in his view, against the law. “It is not something that regulators in California are actively looking into,” he said. “As a result, they are not protecting the interests of the taxpayers and are allowing the insurance companies to enrich themselves by pawning off their most severely compromised and sickest members to the public welfare system.” Some mental health services that counties provide, including wrap-around programs and case management, aren’t legally required to be offered by commercial health plans. But Mary Watanabe, deputy director of health policy for the state Department of Managed Health Care, said state law usually requires commercial plans to cover med-

ically necessary early psychosis intervention and residential treatment. She emphasized that patients who think they are being denied necessary treatment should file a grievance with their health plans and contact the department’s help center to request an independent medical review. No one keeps data on how often people feel forced to abandon private plans because the public system for poorer patients provides better options. But Dr. Joe Parks, medical director of the National Council for Behavioral Health, calls it “a national issue.” Dr. Parks says private insurance historically hasn’t been set up to offer case management, help with transportation and other services to help people navigate to needed treatment. “If you get old and sick or disabled and sick, then you leave commercial insurance,” he said. “It’s really Medicaid and Medicare that back up the commercial sector and allow them to have the profit margin that they have.” Many people with serious mental illness don’t intentionally decide to drop off of commercial insurance. Rather, the illness itself — especially if it’s inadequately treated — can lead them to lose their jobs, which then lands them on Medi-Cal. But for some families and individuals, deciding to leave commercial insurance can be agonizing. To meet Medi-Cal’s strict income eligibility requirements, families with children younger than 18 sometimes consider leaving their jobs or even relinquishing custody, advocates say.

...‘Healthy’ cont’d from pg 4

when you begin to see those choices working for you, you’ll see yourself as capable of doing what you want to do. That capability is your builtin positive motivator. Think about it. When you realize you can put your mind to something, and then see happy results from your efforts, don’t you want to do it again? It’s like getting a bowling strike because you genuinely paid attention to how you threw the ball. To grab control, you have to pay attention to how you talk to yourself. Make it easy on yourself by choosing just one part of your life where you pay close attention. Maybe it’s around your eating choices or exercising choices. Perhaps it’s focused on how you use your free time or what you choose to buy at the grocery store. Whichever one it is, focus in on those moments and listen to yourself. When you hear yourself negatively commenting on your behavior, counter it with positive words that can motivate you toward control and capability to a healthier you. How you think about your choices and behaviors is one place you truly have control right now. You can absolutely steer yourself to healthy. --Nadine is a Wellness Coach for women who want to break long-standing eating and inactive habits.

...‘Medi-Cal’ cont’d from pg 7 Parents with children 18 or older often can just drop them from their private plan to make them Medi-Cal eligible. But that may entail giving up relationships with providers they’ve known for years, and forgoing easier access to specialists who treat other complex medical conditions. And then there’s the question of shame. Teresa Pasquini, a Contra Costa County mother whose adult son has schizoaffective disorder, moved him off of Kaiser Permanente in 2010 after years of fighting to keep him on it. By then, Pasquini said, her son had attempted suicide multiple times. On many occasions, she’d hidden in the back bedroom, calling 911 in a whisper, waiting for authorities to handcuff her son to keep him, and his family, safe. Doctors said her son needed to be in a locked residential facility — but his private insurance didn’t cover a long-term stay, so the county had to pick up the cost, she said. “It’s traumatic to reread the desperate emails I was sending to Kaiser, the county, the conservator, literally begging, ‘What can we do? We don’t want to drop his private insurance, we don’t want to dump his care on the state and county,’” she said. “I gave up my career. We were paying outrageous amounts of money. We were trying everything. So we felt we had no choice.” Suzanne Tavano, Contra Costa’s behavioral health director, said families have been making such decisions for decades. “We’re used to it,” she said. “We expect it.” People regularly call her agency and ask if they should drop private insurance to get into county programs. “Even with very good insurance, that continuum of care isn’t there for the most part,” she said. Privately insured people have been treated in the county’s first-episode psychosis program, though Tavano is reluctant to broadcast that, given limited space. Others with private insurance come into the county’s costly crisis stabilization unit, she said, or get help via the county’s mobile crisis response team. “We’re not going to turn people away,” she said. But spending more on insured people leaves less to spend on people who are on Medi-Cal or uninsured and very low-income, she said. Other counties facing similar demand restrict their offerings. Solano County initially accepted people with private insurance into their early psychosis program — until the program was “inundated,” and didn’t have adequate room to serve people with Medi-Cal. The county

then restricted it, said Sandra Sinz, the county’s behavioral health director, even though “we know if you don’t offer it, people aren’t going to get help.” In 2014, plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente alleged they were told to take their sons off of Kaiser to get them into locked residential facilities. That suit settled in 2018. Kaiser continued to dispute some of the claims. Later that year, a Kaiser therapist in Solano County, who asked not to be named because she feared being targeted by management, received a message from the company that workers should not tell patients to drop Kaiser coverage and go onto Medi-Cal. “People with severe mental illness absolutely pay the price,” she said. “They suffer. They absolutely get better care through county mental health.” She hasn’t voiced that to patients, though. “It’s not something I’ve said,” she said. “It’s something I think.” Stuart Buttlaire, regional director of inpatient psychiatry and continuing care for Kaiser Permanente in Northern California, emailed that Kaiser “offers a full range of long-term, residential or inpatient treatment for members in need of more emotional or psychiatric help than is available in outpatient sessions.” These inpatient stays can range from days to a year or more, he said. He said Kaiser works closely with county mental health agencies through a “public-private partnership.” It “might have been the case some years ago” that some families dropped commercial insurance to go onto Medi-Cal, Buttlaire said, but “federal parity laws are helping eliminate the need for this.” Even those concerned about the private-public service gap acknowledge Medi-Cal is no panacea. County services vary, and they, too, face challenges. A spike in demand for mental health services in recent years has left Medi-Cal and private insurance struggling to get the workforce and infrastructure they need. Dr. Paula Wadell, medical director of the UC Davis Early Diagnosis and Preventive Treatment Clinic in Sacramento, said Medi-Cal offers many services to her patients that those with private insurance can’t access. “There’s kind of no way to win for families,” she said. Once children on private insurance turn 18, clinic staff explain to their families the broader services the clinic provides to individuals with Medi-Cal. Many then elect to move their children onto Medi-Cal. But once they drop private insurance, Wadell said, “it’s not all rainbows and

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

sunshine.” For example, a 2014 law requires doctors to submit a treatment authorization request to the state before giving anti-psychotics to kids on Medi-Cal. That can lead to delays in getting urgent medication that don’t happen for privately insured kids, she said. Young people with complex medical problems — seizure disorders, for example — can find it more difficult to secure a neurologist or geneticist through Medi-Cal, she added. Katrina Gant, a San Bernardino County mother whose son was diagnosed with schizophrenia after high school, said she heard about a great residential program in the mountains nearby. It wouldn’t accept her private insurance — but it took Medi-Cal. The catch: Medi-Cal patients had to wait nearly a year to get in. Instead, Gant’s parents sacrificed $8,000 a month for their grandson to attend. “It was difficult, but to help my son they would do anything,” Gant said. Although her son remains with Kaiser, she plans to switch him to Medi-Cal — despite the waitlists. So what can be done? San Francisco Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener’s SB 855 would require insurers to cover all medically necessary treatments for mental health and substance use disorders. Dr. Henry Harbin, former CEO of Magellan Health, a managed behavioral health care company, said that some private plans lack the billing codes that allow payment for more complex mental health treatments. He’s working on developing a standardized billing code that first-episode psychosis treatment programs can use to bill commercial insurance, and says a similar initiative would do the same for crisis services. Several California agencies that serve children have begun piloting partnerships with commercial plans. Marika Collins of Casa Pacifica, which serves children and families on the Central Coast and in Southern California, said her organization is working with Anthem and Kaiser to provide the same intensive mental health services to children with private insurance they’ve long provided to children on Medi-Cal. “I’m just thrilled to say that we’ve done it,” Collins said. “I’m less quick to bash the health plans than I was three years ago. Some of them really get it.” --This story was made possible by a grant from the California Health Care Foundation.

Sweat with SELF. https://www.youtube.com/ playlist?list=PL7Ax6CP9_hgPjjCrA9zNH9ebuvgJ1riXd If you’re looking for some serious (free) “fitspiration,” the “Sweat with SELF” channel is where you should go. From the backdrop of their classes (the NYC skyline is often featured), to the upbeat and spandex-clad instructors, these classes give the most realistic vibe of an in-person group fitness class. You know, but without the group. These classes range from 10 to 30 minutes. However, there is a timer in the corner counting down each move, so the time flies by, as each section is broken up into segments. Most workouts don’t require anything other than your body weight, though some utilize dumbbells and kettlebells. Word to the wise: If you have neighbors living beneath you, these aren’t the videos to bust out at 6 a.m.—be kind and wait at least until 9 a.m. Blogilates. https://www.youtube.com/user/ blogilates/videos Most of these workouts are about 10 minutes or less, and based around Pilates workouts to help strengthen and tone muscle. The instructor, Cassey, guides you through the routines in the comfort of her home, sometimes with friends, but oftentimes alone. With these short, attainable workouts, and one-on-one instruction, it can feel like you have your own personal trainer right in your living room—minus the hefty price tag that usually comes along with it. Heart and Soul Fitness. https://www.youtube.com/user/KozakSportsPerform There isn’t anything wild or flashy in the production of these videos—it’s just two people working hard, encouraging you to give your best effort, and demonstrating moves you can do that don’t require a lot of floor space. Coach Kozak does the full workout while Claudia models the modifications, so regardless of your fitness level, you will always have someone to follow. Get ready to sweat! Move with Colour. https://www.youtube. c o m / c h a n n e l / U C Z F d k G 0 3 m Z w KG t 1 _ RJ23vAA These are less of a “I need to get a serious workout in” type class and more of a “I need to burst with joy and smile for 10 minutes straight” sort of thing. While there are a few 45-minute sessions, the majority are just 10 minutes, and leave you mastering a small dance combination. With tons of different music choices you can feel like you’re in a boy band, at a disco, or even in a ‘90s club for a few minutes out of your day. It’s a great way to get your blood pumping and heart racing, but more importantly, these videos are just plain fun.
