The California Medical Association (CMA) urges you to *take action against
SB 784*

This bill would allow for permanent exemptions to California’s prohibition
on the corporate practice of medicine (known as the “corporate bar”) for
health care districts, creating a dangerous precedent for patients and
physicians across the state.



SB 784 does not solve the problem of getting physicians into communities
that need care. Instead, it would wipe away long-standing protections
safeguarding patients and providers from ulterior motives such as profits,
shifting cultural and political pressures, and faith-based beliefs.



In addition, the safeguards in the bill are not strong enough to protect
physicians from undue influence from a hospital that holds their
privileges, credentials and ability to practice medicine.



Your legislators need to *hear from you on this issue now

Express your concern about SB 784 and the impact it would have on
