San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer Monday announced a new initiative intended to make quality health care more accessible and affordable for San Diego County residents.
Her plan is to increase reimbursement rates for Medi-Cal recipients and reduce the cost of prescription drugs for San Diegans."The longstanding issue of low reimbursement rates makes it harder for people to find care, contributes to a shortage of health care workers, and results in more San Diegans winding up the E.R. — which puts a huge strain on the region's entire health care system and affects all of us," said Lawson- Remer, vice chair of the Board of Supervisors.
