Opinion: California To Reap Benefits of Health Reform Law

In a Capitol Weekly opinion piece, Robert Ross -- president and CEO of the California Endowment -- applauds Gov. Jerry Brown's administration for moving forward with implementation of the federal health reform law. He writes, "Since the law's passage, [health reform] has already begun improving the health of Californians." Ross offers four suggestions for the state to collect additional funding under the federal health reform law. He adds, "Instead of wasting time in Washington-style posturing, this administration is going to make sure that it gets every benefit the new law allows."
