CMA president issues statement on the governor’s revised budget proposal |
CMA President Peter N. Bretan, Jr., M.D., issued the following statement in response to Governor Newsom's revised budget proposal:
"On behalf of the nearly 50,000 physicians, residents and medical student members of the California Medical Association, we are encouraged by another state budget that prioritizes health care and expands health care coverage for California residents. As a part of the Governor’s May Revision, CMA commends the Governor for eliminating the threat of suspension of funding for the Proposition 56 supplemental payments. Overall, the May Revision makes important investments and changes in patient coverage and developing the health care workforce California needs to meet current and future challenges. CMA looks forward to continuing to work with the Legislature and Administration to ensure these programs are up and running as quickly as possible, and that other, critical health care programs and policies are implemented.
