CMA will fight to maintain the Medi-Cal program which has been chronically underfunded for decades & serves our most vulnerable patients.

[Robert J. McCann @RobertJMcCann]

The California Medical Association (CMA) will remain vigilant over the next several months as the deficit reduction negotiations continue.

[Robert J. McCann @RobertJMcCann]

IOM: data used by Medicare to adjust for geographic variation in costs to pay physicians/hospitals is flawed & leads to inaccurate payments.

[Robert J. McCann @RobertJMcCann]

New Medicaid regs tie physician rates to access to care. If approved, CMA requests that CMS deny the 10% Medi-Cal cut to take effect 7/1/11.

[Robert J. McCann @RobertJMcCann]

CMA on CMS proposal: it imposes micro-management-rules over ACOs & requires downside financial risk unexpected in the shared savings program

[Robert J. McCann @RobertJMcCann]

At CMA’s 37th Annual Legislative Conf, Gov Brown provided an overview of CA's $26.6B deficit with optimism that the problem can be solved

[Robert J. McCann @RobertJMcCann]

Sheryl Skolnick,CRT: The [CMS] rule appears to do a good job of making ACO’s accountable but a very poor job of making patients accountable

Kaiser March 2011 poll on last year's US health care law found: 42% of Americans support it, 46% are opposed. Altogether 53% are confused.

[Robert J. McCann @RobertJMcCann]

CA legislators approve MediCal cuts:10% reduction in doctor payments, $5 co-pay per visit & 7 visit per year cap unless medically necessary.
