CMA To Governor: Medi-Cal Cuts A Step In Wrong Direction

The President of the California Medical Association, Dr. Dev GnanaDev, issued the following statement today: "The governor"s call to slash health care for millions of California"s poor and unemployed is ill-advised and fiscally reckless. "Life without access to health care can be terrifying, especially for our most vulnerable, like children and seniors. Cutting Medi-Cal will cut off access to the health care providers that can alleviate people"s suffering, and help them become healthier, happier, and more productive. "We know that less funding for Medi-Cal would further reduce primary and preventative care and result in more people ending up in overcrowded and expensive emergency rooms - at an increased cost to all taxpayers. The Governor"s proposal could cost California an additional $750 million in federal matching funds at a time the state needs every dollar it can get. "California"s physicians are deeply concerned to hear the Governor say that the Obama Administration is entertaining his request to cut access to health care for millions of Californians, particularly given the President"s goal of extending health care to all Americans. Medi-Cal is already so underfunded that its participants are unable to find doctors in many parts of the state. "Some leading congressional health reform proposals call for expanding Medicaid. If we are to expand Medicaid, we must increase funding for the program, not decrease it. Expanding participation in an underfunded health program will not increase access to health care; it will just be another empty promise that fails to deliver for Americans. "California"s physicians hope that President Obama and his administration, which is fighting so hard to expand health care coverage, will not waive federal rules and the allow the Governor to reduce access to health care for Californians at the time they need it the most." Dr. GnanaDev is a trauma surgeon and chief of the medical staff at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, San Bernardino County"s public hospital. The California Medical Association represents more than 35,000 physicians in all modes of practice and specialties. CMA is dedicated to the health of all patients in California.
