I’m Dr. Jasmeet Bains — a family and addiction doctor, daughter of immigrants, and the first Sikh American elected to the California Legislature. Today, I’m officially launching my campaign for Congress in California’s 22nd district.
Our op-ed is out on @medpagetoday:
“We Called Code Red on Medicaid Cuts”
We explain how the recently passed "Big Beautiful Bill" will harm patients and what clinicians and healthcare workers need to do next. #SaveMedicaid #Healthcare medpagetoday.com/opinion/sec…

"Let's just say that they do something that's so Alaska-specific just to, quote, 'get me.' Then you have a nationwide system that doesn't work. That then comes crashing down and Alaska's not able to kind of keep it together on its own."

In my story out today, one person I'm most struck by is @DrPanMD who struggled to get leadership positions at his medical school but was repeatedly elected to state office. "When the people vote, I get elected. When it’s a club, I don’t get selected." statnews.com/2023/07/26/asia…

So proud of the work we did this week at the AMA to continue to diversify our medical workforce to serve our patients better. ❤️
With affirmative action imperiled by a pending Supreme Court case, #OurAMA reinforces its support for a diverse physician workforce that resembles the nation. spr.ly/6010O2v4s

Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that at least 18 people were murdered in California in the past two days. Even more horrifying is how commonplace this level of violence has become.

#StateAdvocacySummit
And that's a wrap on my first #StateAdvocacySummit by @AmerMedicalAssn! Super cool to learn from so many unique policy experts and I'm coming out even more inspired. Also thanks to @cmadocs for funding a resident to come and investing in our future of organized medicine.
Data drives policy. The Hattiesburg clinic analyzed their ACO data and found APPs were more costly to the system, had their patients end up in the ER more, had increased referrals, and increased tests to patients. we work better with a physician led team. ama-assn.org/practice-manage…
