LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The California Endowment’s President and CEO Robert K. Ross, M.D. reacts to California HHS Secretary Diana Dooley’s statement about California leading the way in the nation on health reform:
“California has made it clear: the successful implementation of the landmark Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is moving forward in our state. California’s Health and Human Services secretary Diana Dooley said it best in a recent article when asked about the state’s efforts to implement the ACA: ‘We want to be the lead car.’ This is encouraging, particularly to the families living on the precipice of financial disaster due to exorbitant medical bills that threaten their solvency. Now, our Congress needs to join California and put the interests of America’s families first and put an end to this challenge of what has already been written into law. With so many issues facing our nation, we need to move forward now.”
-Dr. Robert K. Ross, CEO, The California Endowment
