title: CMA Acts on "Medicare".
abstract: The council of the California Medical Association at its meeting August 7, 1965, took two important steps bearing on Public Law 89-97, generally known as the "Medicare Law." One was a statement of policy and the other was creation of a Task Force to represent the CMA's position in whatever actions are taken in the state government of California or in the Federal Government to carry out the provisions of the new legislation.
