PAC & Forth is a podcast about the forces shaping health care in California and the people working to change it.
Produced by the Physician Association of California and hosted by PAC CEO, Matthew Robinson, PAC & Forth brings together physicians, policy insiders, advocates, and industry leaders for candid conversations about independent medicine, health care policy, and the real-world impact of decisions made in Sacramento.
A practical, grounded discussion from people on the front lines, in exam rooms, boardrooms, and the Capitol.
Whether you’re a physician, policymaker, health care professional, or someone who simply cares about the future of patient-centered care, PAC & Forth offers insight, perspective, and a seat at the table.
