Our concern, first and foremost, is for patients," said CHA President C. Duane Dauner. "We want to make sure that every man, woman and child in California receives the best medical care possible-not just the cheapest medical care. Furthermore, "state law is quite clear-health plans shouldn't force doctors to make patient care decisions based upon money," Dauner said.
