CMA helps stop dangerous physical therapy bill
CMA helped stop dangerous legislation that would have significantly expanded the scope of practice for physical therapists. The measure would undermine physician-led, team-based care and increase the risk of misdiagnosis, delayed treatment and inappropriate management of complex patient conditions.
CMA opposes Billionaire Tax Act, citing concerns over long-term Medi-Cal funding
The CMA Board of Trustees has voted to oppose the proposed Billionaire Tax Act, warning that the ballot measure would increase budget volatility, lacks accountability and is not a sustainable solution to California's health care funding challenges. Physicians remain committed to protecting Medi-Cal and pursuing long-term funding solutions like the proposal to permanently extend the voter-approved Prop 55 (2016) income tax on the state's highest earners to fund health care and education.

"I joined the medical society not entirely sure what to expect or how it might impact my daily work. Then the pandemic struck—and everything changed. My colleagues and I were scrambling, doing everything we could to secure supplies for practices that were hanging by a thread. In those moments, access to PPE wasn’t just important; it was literally a matter of life or death.
After exhausting every avenue I could think of, I reached out to SBCMS and CMA as something of a last hope. The first question they asked was, “Do you have a truck or an SUV?” I’ll never forget that moment. What followed was beyond anything I imagined—I drove away with enough PPE and medical supplies to keep our office safe and operational for years. It was the first time I truly understood that the medical society wasn’t just an organization; it was a lifeline. A partner who showed up when it mattered most.
To this day, SBCMS and CMA remain my trusted “go-to” for practice solutions, funding opportunities, GME expansion, and support for the patients we serve. I truly cannot imagine practicing medicine without their collaboration, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to physicians."
