A bill (AB 1944) by Assembly member Sandré Swanson (D-Alameda) was amended to authorize health care districts to directly employ a physician and surgeon to primarily treat Medi-Cal patients so long as the district does not interfere with, control or direct the professional judgment of the physician or surgeon (Bill text, 5/8). The bill is before the full Assembly (Bill status, 5/8).
