More than 500 physicians, medical students, residents, and CMA Alliance members from throughout the state gathered in Sacramento Tuesday for CMA’s annual Legislative Leadership Day. Participants reviewed major legislative issues affecting patients and physicians in California, and heard those topics discussed by separate panels of legislators and political consultants. Many physicians used the afternoon to meet individually with their legislators for frank discussions of state and local health care issues.

This year’s event focused on

• Informed consent and off-label prescriptions (AB 2856)
• Medical loss ratios (SB 1591)
• Exposing phantom networks (SB 1804)
• Increasing Medi-Cal provider rates (budget).
