Emergency doctors are suing California over low Medi-Cal payments in Orange County.
With California already in a tremendous budget crisis, this is adding salt on an open wound. As quoted in the article:
“It alleges that ER doctors subsidized state Medi-Cal with more than $100 million in care in 2007″
This is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed by the new administration. As the article stated, there are a lot of individuals that are willing to bypass the regular maintenance checkup and let burden fall up emergency room.
