Members of CMA’s Executive Committee will visit Washington, D.C. this week to talk with congressional leaders and advocate for changes in health reform legislation that would ensure patients get the access to care they need. Attending are CMA President J. Brennan Cassidy, M.D., President-Elect James Hinsdale, M.D., Immediate Past-President Dev GnanaDev, M.D., Speaker of the House James Hay, M.D., Vice-Speaker of the House Luther Cobb, M.D., and Board Chair Paul Phinney, M.D.

“We want members of Congress to know that California’s physicians strongly support reform that fixes what is broken but preserves what is working,” says CMA President Brennan Cassidy, M.D. “Our main concern is making sure the final bill includes the funding and framework necessary to give patients access to doctors and real health care coverage, not a false promise.”
