CalACEP Executive Director, Elena Lopez-Gusman, joins us on the podcast for a legislative and advocacy update.

This time we are talking about Proposition 35 - a ballot measure to earmark the MCO tax to improve funding for Medi-Cal. While CalACEP fought and won to have emergency physicians keep their portion of the MCO tax to improve Medi-Cal reimbursement for emergency medicine, CalACEP strongly recommends a YES vote on Proposition 35 to ensure that the MCO tax continues to fund improved access to care for all of our patients.

See our current Treasurer, Adam Dougherty, MD FACEP, featured in an article on this proposition: https://californiahealthline.org/news/article/california-lmedi-cal-managed-care-organization-tax-budget-ballot-initiative/
