    Advocacy Update: Proposition 35

    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/ The California ACEP Podcast is produced by the staff and volunteer leaders at California ACEP as well as Marco Gonzalez, our sound engineer. California ACEP’s mission is to support emergency physicians in providing the highest quality of care to all of our patients and their communities.

    Advocacy Update: MCO Tax

    CalACEP Executive Director Elena Lopez-Gusma joins us on the podcast for a legislative and advocacy update. We discuss the Managed Care Organization (MCO) tax and and the roller coaster ride of getting the tax renewed and dedicated for Medi-Cal funding in 2023, only to have that revoked in the Governor’s proposed budget in an attempt to backfill the budget deficit, and the strategic and hard work of the CalACEP staff to keep the share of the MCO tax dedicated to emergency physicians on table to go into effect in January 2025.

    Episode 2 - Legislative Leadership Conference

    Dr. Vik Gulati joins us to discuss California ACEP’s 31st Annual Legislative Leadership Conference (LLC), which will be held virtually on April 13th and 15th. LLC is an opportunity for medical students, residents, and emergency medicine physicians to speak with legislators or their legislative staff and advocate for our patients and for emergency medicine as a specialty. This is a great way to get experience with health policy and advocacy. You do not have to be an expert on policy or the legislative process, we will lead an introductory session and you will be meeting with legislators as a team and be grouped with folks with advocacy experience. Your experiences within medicine reflect the impact policy has on patient care. Advocacy can be as easy as simply telling a story from your last shift. Join us for LLC!
