Subject line: Request for MBC Members to Oppose SB 276
To: [email protected], [email protected]
Dear Jennifer and MaryKate,
I ask you to share this email with the CA Medical Board Members, prior to tomorrow’s meeting.
I urge the Medical Board of California to take an “Oppose SB 276” position during this week’s Quarterly Meeting.
While the MBC supports SB276 in concept – ensuring physicians writing fraudulent medical exemptions are investigated – SB276 has not been amended to address any of the issues board members raised in the May 28th meeting. The bill still curtails the doctor-patient relationship. It still puts the oversight of physicians under the scrutiny of CDPH rather than the medical board. It still dangerously narrows the criteria for medical exemptions so family history, genetics, epigenetics or the latest research cannot be used to support a vaccine medical exemption. It still allows open access by schools, CDPH, and many other entities to medical records that should be private. The MBC cannot support such a bill and at the same time uphold its mission to protect health care consumers through the enforcement of the Medical Practice Act, and to promote access to quality medical care.
On July 24, 2019, Governor Newsom reiterated that he still has concerns withSB276, due to the infringement on the doctor patient relationship and narrowing of criteria.
I urge you, the MBC Members, to remove you “Support in Concept” position on SB276 and change it to “Oppose unless Amended”, citing the above issues which still remain.
Thanks
