What moves a health care bill in Sacramento

Two California regulators can now fine a health system: DMHC for plan conduct and the Office of Health Care Affordability for spending growth. Capitol Axis represents providers and plans before both, and in the budget process that sets Medi-Cal rates.

A position becomes useful when it reaches the analysis the members read, which means the letter and the amendment language land before the hearing, not after. The health care group writes those positions, negotiates the language, and testifies for health care organizations.
