Opinion: California families face deadly health care cuts. Billionaires can afford to pitch in.

Doctors told us my grandson wouldn’t live past three months, but they didn’t know Elijah was capable of. Today he’s 7 years old, stubborn as ever and fighting every day to prove them wrong.

Elijah was born with cerebral palsy. Caring for him is a full-time, all-hands-on-deck operation that includes in-home nurses, physical and occupational therapy, school support and a small pharmacy’s worth of medications.

None of that care is optional. It’s what keeps him alive, learning, laughing and giving me attitude.
