Xavier Becerra has always been a champion for physicians and patients. He helped write the Affordable Care Act, and as HHS Secretary expanded health coverage to 24 million Americans. 1/2
Congratulations to @XavierBecerra on advancing to the November general election. California’s future depends on leaders who will expand access to care, not move us backward. As threats to health coverage and health care funding grow, Xavier Becerra will be the health care governor California needs, standing up for patients, supporting physicians, and building a stronger, healthier California for all.
He also understands our profession personally—he’s married to a longtime CMA member and practicing OB-GYN. At a time when physicians need a strong advocate in Sacramento, Xavier is the leader we can count on. Please join me in supporting @XavierBecerra. 2/2

#SB1146 by Sen. Gonzalez cracks down on the growing use of AI to create fraudulent advertisements for health-related products and establishes simple, commonsense transparency requirements for such advertisements if they use AI to generate a heath care provider’s likeness.

#AB2431 by @AsmDarshana protects physician practices & patient access to care by prohibiting the automatic claims downcoding without reviewing clinical information supporting the billed service. AB 2431 ensures that physicians are paid for the level of care they actually provide.

Proud to earn the @CMAdocs endorsement! From the ER to the exam room, they know what’s at stake. As governor, I’ll have their backs like they’ve had ours.

As Attorney General, @AGRobBonta fought for fairness, justice and accountability within our health care system. That's why CMA believes California is stronger with @RobBonta as Attorney General.

We're deeply saddened by the passing of an extraordinary physician leader - Dr. Dave Bazzo. He served as President of SDCMS and CAFP, an educator at UCSD Med School, and as team doctor for numerous local athletic organizations. Popular and respected, Dave will be dearly missed.

Prop 56 passed 8 years ago, raising California's cigarette tax by $2/pack. Critics said it was too aggressive. But new data shows it worked: quit rates rose, health outcomes improved, and public dollars funded prevention.
I co-chaired the Yes on 56 campaign, and we made it happen, after decades of failure.
Ideas matter, but action is necessary.

Today’s vote reverses years of progress to ensure that vulnerable patients have access to the care they need & deserve. Trillions in Medicaid cuts will cause millions of Californians to lose health care coverage, which will be devastating to patients & drive up health care costs.
