Bill overview
This bill aims to improve affordability in California’s healthcare system by strengthening the state’s efforts to control costs and ensure patient advocacy. It requires the Health Care Affordability Board to establish a Patient Advocate Advisory Standing Committee that will meet publicly at least four times a year and provide regular reports to the board. The committee’s role is to gather input from patients and advocates on challenges to accessing quality care and offer recommendations for improvements, ultimately contributing to a more accessible and affordable healthcare system for all Californians.
