Monday Rx: Legislation, Access to Care Town Hall, Clinica Oscar Romero, Luncheon and Burnout Symposium November 14, 2022 Access to Care Town Hall, Clinica Oscar Romero, Consul General of Japan, Cooperative of American Physicians, Cyberattacks, District 7, HIPAA, Membership Dues, Proposition 1, Proposition 29, Proposition 31, Southern California Burnout Symposium, Webinar 707 Election News Excited to share that Dr. Jasmeet Bains (D-Bakersfield) is on track to win the hotly contested 35th Assembly District, joining physician legislators, Assemblymember Dr. Joaquin Arambula, (D-Fresno) and Assemblymember Dr. Akilah Weber (D-La Mesa) who have also been re-elected to the California State Assembly. Dr. Bains, a relative political newcomer, faced off against fellow Democrat, Leticia Perez, who has been elected as a Kern County Supervisor for a decade. Dr. Bains is a medical director at Bakersfield Recovery Services, a nonprofit that treats adults suffering from addiction. After attending medical school in Illinois, she returned home to Kern County to complete a residency at Clinica Sierra Vista and was motivated to run for Assembly after witnessing the disparities in health access during the pandemic. Voters also supported Proposition 1 to enshrine the right to an abortion into the state constitution, which was strongly supported by CMA, as well as Proposition 31 to enact a ban on flavored tobacco. At the same time, voters rejected, for a third time, CMA-opposedProposition 29, which would have imposed additional requirements on dialysis clinics. Access to Care Town Hall with Assemblyman Ash Kalra As we have shared for several weeks, tonight is the 8th edition of the Access to Care series hosted by LACMA president Dr. Omer Deen and LACMA board member Dr. Hector Flores.
