California's 2026-27 budget and accompanying health budget trailer bill include a $1.5 billion tax increase that will be passed on to consumers through higher health insurance premiums. The increase could add as much as $400 annually to premiums for a family of four and comes as federal actions are already expected to result in significant coverage losses for Californians.
In response to the passage of the 2026-27 state budget and accompanying health budget trailer bill, CMA President René Bravo, M.D., issued the following the statement:
CMA recovered more than $5.6 million on behalf of physician practices in 2025 — marking its second-best recovery year ever. Since 2009, CMA's reimbursement advocacy efforts have helped recover more than $52 million for California physicians.
