Fulfill the Promise of Health Care for All By Ensuring Access to a Doctor
With 6.7 million uninsured Californians, CMA believes expanding access to care is imperative for the healthy future of California. CMA urges Congress to fulfill the promise of coverage for all by ensuring that all patients have a doctor. California’s low Medi-Cal and Medicare payment rates have made it difficult for insured as well as uninsured Californians to find a doctor. Federal health reform must provide every family with insurance and a doctor to care for them.
