"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

For the first time, voters will see and hear longtime Democratic Rep. Mike Honda debate his Democratic challenger, Ro Khanna — one on one — after beating him by 20 points in the June primary. Finally, voters in\u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/CA/17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Congressional District 17\u003c/a> can compare and contrast the candidates’ command of the issues, debate styles and age difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district, which hugs the heart of Silicon Valley, includes parts of the East Bay — the cities of Fremont, Newark and Milpitas in southern Alameda County — and Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and north San Jose. It’s also the only Asian-majority district in the continental United States, but given that many Chinese and Indian immigrants have \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201311120850/a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only recently arrived\u003c/a> to work in Silicon Valley, the electorate is not Asian majority … yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the 38-year-old Khanna’s opportunity to share the same congressional platform as Honda and show parity. On the flip side, this gives the 73-year-old Honda a chance to show he still has what it takes to serve an eighth term in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listen to Debate Between Honda and Khanna: Monday at 6:30 p.m. on KQED-88.5 FM.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda has been sitting on a pile of cash waiting for the final stretch of the campaign to release television ads.

The governor (Jerry Brown) is going win by 20 to 30 points. There are ballot measures, but nothing that really quickens the pulse, the kind of thing that will turn out a base on either side. You add to that the fact that, especially in a Democratic district, it’s kind of a flat year for Democrats, and the big question in this race is who actually bothers to vote on Election Day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are few differences between the candidates on big issues like same-sex marriage, abortion, Social Security and the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda is by all accounts a team player, a progressive Democrat who has voted consistently to support the party, human rights and \u003ca href=\"http://honda.house.gov/meet-mike/my-accomplishments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal funding\u003c/a> for various projects in his home district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna is an intellectual property lawyer and former Commerce Department official during President Obama’s first term, who \u003ca href=\"http://atr.rollcall.com/democratic-challenger-spends-2-6-million-to-unseat-fellow-democrat/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spent millions\u003c/a> to introduce himself to the district before the primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, the Khanna campaign has made much of leaked emails alleging Honda’s chief of staff blurred the lines between her official duties and her work on his re-election campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then we learned that the identity of the e-mail leaker is a former Honda aide.

The governor (Jerry Brown) is going win by 20 to 30 points. There are ballot measures, but nothing that really quickens the pulse, the kind of thing that will turn out a base on either side.

Proposition 1 is the $7.5 billion water bond proposal facing voters; Proposition 2 is the new effort to create a more stable and viable cash reserve fund for the state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(You can read about all the statewide issues in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/03/california-watch-2014-election-guide/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED’s new California Election Watch 2014 online guide.\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown played a key role in shaping both measures as they made their way through the state Legislature this year, and he has proclaimed both as essential to the Golden State's future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are only two things,\" wrote Brown in one of the week's emails, \"that could derail California's recovery: lack of water, and a return to the fiscal irresponsibility we've seen over the last few decades in Sacramento.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But are ballot measures really the way to take a measure of the man? Yes, says his political team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The props,\" said Brown adviser Dan Newman, \"are inextricably linked with his philosophy, his agenda, his priorities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In truth, Brown was \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2014/06/24/brown-opposes-existing-water-bond,-wants-%246-billion-replacement/\" target=\"_blank\">skittish for much of the legislative year\u003c/a> about a multibillion dollar water bond on the fall ballot. After all, when you're boasting about your efforts to reduce the state's debt, it can be a bit awkward to then ask the voters to add to that debt. In the end, though, the politics of the drought probably convinced him to strike the deal that became Prop. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 2, on the other hand, has always been pitch-perfect for Brown. The proposition's \"tough-to-raid-the-piggy bank\" plan for a new state savings account, coupled with insistence on paying off debt, are very much in line with the governor's message these past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken together, they no doubt present an electoral narrative much to Brown's liking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The propositions \"give him substantive issues to talk about,\" said GOP strategist Stutzman. \"They put him in campaign mode, but in a policy context.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They do not, however, give the actual race for governor much oxygen. And that has left \u003ca href=\"http://www.neelkashkari.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Neel Kashkari\u003c/a>, Brown's long-shot, newcomer challenger, doing a lot of shadow boxing. The Republican has kept a busy campaign schedule, speaking to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/neelkashkari/status/517380029773516801\" target=\"_blank\">small groups around California\u003c/a> and even \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LTwoC/status/516056712156307456\" target=\"_blank\">joining in barnstorming treks with other GOP statewide contenders\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his now-familiar jabs at Brown -- that the governor can't relate to average voters, that he's failed to focus on things that could spark the economy in still-distressed parts of California -- have hardly left a mark on the governor. In fact, Team Kashkari isn't even taking the bait to criticize Brown for ducking the campaign; they declined to comment when contacted for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early polls show that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/drought/ci_26592606/poll-strong-support-state-water-bond-and-local\" target=\"_blank\">Prop. 1 water bond is in good shape\u003c/a>, while Prop. 2 is \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/johnmyers/status/514626325349269504\" target=\"_blank\">struggling\u003c/a> -- perhaps because voters don't yet understand it. That certainly sounds like the kind of professorial task that Brown enjoys. Kashkari took a small swipe at the water bond in the candidates' only debate on Sept. 4, but it's doubtful he's going to spend much energy criticizing either measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Brown's popularity is wide, it's hard to call it deep. After all, recent statewide surveys show a lot of voters still think California is on the wrong track, and they don't overwhelmingly approve of how Brown has done his job. Still, they also don't seem to have found a reason to cast their lot with the new guy, who not only has raised less than half the money that the incumbent has since Labor Day ($995,000 to $394,000), but is staring at that incumbent's already existing $22.3 million war chest. He is also behind \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/09/23/six-weeks-out-jerry-brown-holds-commanding-lead/\" target=\"_blank\">in the most recent public poll by 21 points\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even four years ago, in a closely watched and expensive slugfest of a race, Brown resisted calls to fully launch his campaign before the last lap. In 2014, with those dynamics long gone, it's hard to see the incumbent governor really making the case for a final four years until he can almost touch the yellow tape stretched across the finish line.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Proposition 1 is the $7.5 billion water bond proposal facing voters; Proposition 2 is the new effort to create a more stable and viable cash reserve fund for the state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(You can read about all the statewide issues in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/03/california-watch-2014-election-guide/\" target=\"_blank\">KQED’s new California Election Watch 2014 online guide.\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown played a key role in shaping both measures as they made their way through the state Legislature this year, and he has proclaimed both as essential to the Golden State's future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are only two things,\" wrote Brown in one of the week's emails, \"that could derail California's recovery: lack of water, and a return to the fiscal irresponsibility we've seen over the last few decades in Sacramento.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But are ballot measures really the way to take a measure of the man? Yes, says his political team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The props,\" said Brown adviser Dan Newman, \"are inextricably linked with his philosophy, his agenda, his priorities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In truth, Brown was \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2014/06/24/brown-opposes-existing-water-bond,-wants-%246-billion-replacement/\" target=\"_blank\">skittish for much of the legislative year\u003c/a> about a multibillion dollar water bond on the fall ballot. After all, when you're boasting about your efforts to reduce the state's debt, it can be a bit awkward to then ask the voters to add to that debt. In the end, though, the politics of the drought probably convinced him to strike the deal that became Prop. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 2, on the other hand, has always been pitch-perfect for Brown. The proposition's \"tough-to-raid-the-piggy bank\" plan for a new state savings account, coupled with insistence on paying off debt, are very much in line with the governor's message these past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken together, they no doubt present an electoral narrative much to Brown's liking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The propositions \"give him substantive issues to talk about,\" said GOP strategist Stutzman. \"They put him in campaign mode, but in a policy context.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They do not, however, give the actual race for governor much oxygen. And that has left \u003ca href=\"http://www.neelkashkari.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Neel Kashkari\u003c/a>, Brown's long-shot, newcomer challenger, doing a lot of shadow boxing. The Republican has kept a busy campaign schedule, speaking to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/neelkashkari/status/517380029773516801\" target=\"_blank\">small groups around California\u003c/a> and even \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LTwoC/status/516056712156307456\" target=\"_blank\">joining in barnstorming treks with other GOP statewide contenders\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his now-familiar jabs at Brown -- that the governor can't relate to average voters, that he's failed to focus on things that could spark the economy in still-distressed parts of California -- have hardly left a mark on the governor. In fact, Team Kashkari isn't even taking the bait to criticize Brown for ducking the campaign; they declined to comment when contacted for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early polls show that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/drought/ci_26592606/poll-strong-support-state-water-bond-and-local\" target=\"_blank\">Prop. 1 water bond is in good shape\u003c/a>, while Prop. 2 is \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/johnmyers/status/514626325349269504\" target=\"_blank\">struggling\u003c/a> -- perhaps because voters don't yet understand it. That certainly sounds like the kind of professorial task that Brown enjoys. Kashkari took a small swipe at the water bond in the candidates' only debate on Sept. 4, but it's doubtful he's going to spend much energy criticizing either measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Brown's popularity is wide, it's hard to call it deep. After all, recent statewide surveys show a lot of voters still think California is on the wrong track, and they don't overwhelmingly approve of how Brown has done his job. Still, they also don't seem to have found a reason to cast their lot with the new guy, who not only has raised less than half the money that the incumbent has since Labor Day ($995,000 to $394,000), but is staring at that incumbent's already existing $22.3 million war chest. He is also behind \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/09/23/six-weeks-out-jerry-brown-holds-commanding-lead/\" target=\"_blank\">in the most recent public poll by 21 points\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even four years ago, in a closely watched and expensive slugfest of a race, Brown resisted calls to fully launch his campaign before the last lap. In 2014, with those dynamics long gone, it's hard to see the incumbent governor really making the case for a final four years until he can almost touch the yellow tape stretched across the finish line.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Photo Courtesyof Bob Pack)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Troy and Alana Pack had spent the day at their neighborhood Halloween party in Danville. Ten-year-old Troy went as a baseball player, and 7-year-old Alana was a good witch. In the afternoon, they changed out of their costumes and set out for a walk with their mother down Camino Tassajara. Destination: Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Alana, she liked anything with chocolate,” says their father, Bob Pack. “Troy, for sure, bubble gum ice cream, 'cause he liked counting the bubble gums that he would get.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Pack stayed home to rest. His family made it only half a mile down the road before his phone rang: “I received a call from a neighbor screaming there’d been an accident. And I raced down there,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An impaired driver had veered off the road and hit Troy and Alana head-on. Pack was doing CPR on Troy when the paramedics arrived.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember telling them I love them, and hang on. Just praying that they could hang on,” he says\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Troy and Alana were pronounced dead at the hospital. In the months after their death, Pack’s wife, Carmen, retreated into her Catholic faith. Bob Pack was angry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think, for me to get through, I needed action,” he says, “and I needed to take action for justice for Troy and Alana, and also for doing something that I thought maybe I could change to benefit others in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was nearly 11 years ago. Pack quit his tech job to become an advocate. Over the last decade, he has helped write seven bills in California's Legislature and has evolved into a savvy political player. None of his efforts have been bigger than the one he's working on for the November election: Proposition 46, the patient safety initiative. It's complex and has three distinct proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Requires Doctors to Check Prescription Database\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first one, aimed at addressing “doctor shopping,” became a pet issue of Pack’s after the accident. Investigators found the driver who killed his kids was abusing prescription narcotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She had gone to numerous doctors, saying that she was under different pain, neck pain, back pain, leg pain, elbow pain,” he says. “They, in my view, recklessly wrote prescriptions for her, for thousands of pills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pack set out to help the state build a database where doctors can see how many times a patient has been prescribed serious narcotics, like Vicodin or Oxycontin. The result is the CURES database, or the Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 46 would make it mandatory for doctors to consult the database. California would become one of nine states requiring doctors to check before prescribing painkillers to first-time patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After passing similar laws, both Tennessee and New York saw a significant reduction in the number of narcotics prescriptions written. Studies have verified the correlation, but acknowledge that some of the reduction may be due to drug abusers turning to alternative sources or street drugs, like heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many doctors in California like the database. Some have called it “indispensable.” But they don’t like being told how to practice medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem with the current way the ballot measure is written is it makes it mandatory, to have that database checked,” says Dr. Richard Thorp, president of the California Medical Association (CMA), adding technical glitches have made the database unreliable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lifts Cap on Malpractice Awards\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors are also unhappy about another big piece of Prop 46: the proposed change to the cap on “pain and suffering” awards in medical malpractice lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his kids died, Bob Pack wanted to sue the doctors that prescribed drugs to the driver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I set out and talked to about eight lawyers,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They all turned him down. They told him a 1975 state law limited the malpractice award he could get to $250,000. That meant puny attorneys’ fees. The lawyers said it simply wasn’t cost effective for them to take his case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My reaction was ‘What?!’ That’s not democratic. That’s not America,” Pack says. “We all have the right to the court system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law that set the cap is called MICRA, the \u003ca title=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Injury_Compensation_Reform_Act\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Injury_Compensation_Reform_Act\" target=\"_blank\">Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act of 1975\u003c/a>, passed with the intention of keeping medical liability insurance costs low. Several other states followed suit. California’s law caps only non-economic damages, or pain and suffering awards. Economic damages –- money that accounts for medical expenses, or lost wages when a person can no longer work because of a medical mistake –- are not capped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But economic damages were no help in a case like Pack’s. His children had no jobs and therefore no lost wages. And they were dead, so they had no ongoing medical bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000\">A study from Emory University shows that \u003ca title=\" http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2147915\" href=\"//papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2147915\" target=\"_blank\">medical malpractice caps limit access to legal representation\u003c/a> for up to 95 percent of victims.\u003c/span> Children, the elderly and other people with no or very low incomes who cannot claim economic damages are the most affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the victim gets victimized a second time, not only by the harm or the loss of a loved one, but then they get no accountability or justice through the legal system,” Pack says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why some states have ruled such caps on pain and suffering awards unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pack thinks California’s non-economic malpractice award should at least be adjusted for inflation, so lawyers would be more willing to take legitimate cases. Prop. 46 would raise the cap from $250,000 to $1.1 million and provide an annual adjustment for inflation going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the CMA's Richard Thorp sees a big problem. “That will encourage additional lawsuits in the system.\" He argues more lawsuits will cause malpractice insurance premiums to go up, and those costs could drive doctors out of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ll start to see it become more difficult to recruit doctors to California,” he says. “And you’ll see doctors in the middle of their career start to look at it and say, 'Maybe I can find a practice someplace else in another state where it will be more financially viable and I wouldn’t have to worry about the same number of malpractice cases as I’m going to have to face in California.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a dozen other states have caps on pain and suffering awards similar to California’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a review of studies from the 1970s to the early 2000s, researchers writing for the Milbank Quarterly found that \u003ca title=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2690332/\" href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2690332/\" target=\"_blank\">damage caps do reduce malpractice insurance premiums\u003c/a>, but to what degree is a matter of debate, with study results ranging from 6 to 25 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No evidence was found that this savings gets passed on to consumers in the form of lower health insurance premiums, partly because malpractice insurance constitutes such a small percentage –- less than 2 –- of overall health care costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same review highlighted a study from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that found a link between doctor supply and non-economic damage caps. Specifically, rural counties in states where caps were set at $250,000 –- like California -– had 5.5 percent more surgeons and 5.4 percent more obstetricians/gynecologists, compared with states with a higher cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/170078338&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies were inconclusive on whether doctors practice more “defensive medicine” in states with caps -– ordering more tests and procedures to avoid making mistakes and being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County governments are especially concerned about the potential costs associated with Prop. 46.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve counties, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, operate their own hospital systems and would have to use taxpayer dollars to cover the costs of additional malpractice lawsuits. The state’s independent legislative analyst estimates that cost could be between tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LAO reports says some of that could be offset by savings from other parts of the measure, the prescription database and the most controversial piece of Prop. 46: doctor drug testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mandates Drug & Alcohol Testing for Doctors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has been the centerpiece of the \"Yes on Prop. 46\" campaign, inspiring campy ads of airline pilots and police officers dancing through the stalls of a public restroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All…of…the….pilots do it. Astronauts do it. Even the school bus drivers do it,” the ad goes. “Let’s do it. Let’s pee in a cup.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding doctors to that list seemed like an easy sell. Early polls indicated voters strongly favored the idea -– many thought it was already law. In fact, if Prop. 46 passes, California would be the first state in the country to require drug testing of doctors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re the only profession I know of that are charged to police ourselves,” says Stephen Loyd, a Tennessee physician who thinks California should lead the way in passing Prop. 46.

In the months after their death, Pack’s wife, Carmen, retreated into her Catholic faith. Bob Pack was angry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think, for me to get through, I needed action,” he says, “and I needed to take action for justice for Troy and Alana, and also for doing something that I thought maybe I could change to benefit others in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was nearly 11 years ago. Pack quit his tech job to become an advocate. Over the last decade, he has helped write seven bills in California's Legislature and has evolved into a savvy political player. None of his efforts have been bigger than the one he's working on for the November election: Proposition 46, the patient safety initiative. It's complex and has three distinct proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Requires Doctors to Check Prescription Database\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first one, aimed at addressing “doctor shopping,” became a pet issue of Pack’s after the accident. Investigators found the driver who killed his kids was abusing prescription narcotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She had gone to numerous doctors, saying that she was under different pain, neck pain, back pain, leg pain, elbow pain,” he says. “They, in my view, recklessly wrote prescriptions for her, for thousands of pills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pack set out to help the state build a database where doctors can see how many times a patient has been prescribed serious narcotics, like Vicodin or Oxycontin. The result is the CURES database, or the Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 46 would make it mandatory for doctors to consult the database. California would become one of nine states requiring doctors to check before prescribing painkillers to first-time patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After passing similar laws, both Tennessee and New York saw a significant reduction in the number of narcotics prescriptions written. Studies have verified the correlation, but acknowledge that some of the reduction may be due to drug abusers turning to alternative sources or street drugs, like heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many doctors in California like the database. Some have called it “indispensable.” But they don’t like being told how to practice medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem with the current way the ballot measure is written is it makes it mandatory, to have that database checked,” says Dr. Richard Thorp, president of the California Medical Association (CMA), adding technical glitches have made the database unreliable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lifts Cap on Malpractice Awards\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors are also unhappy about another big piece of Prop 46: the proposed change to the cap on “pain and suffering” awards in medical malpractice lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his kids died, Bob Pack wanted to sue the doctors that prescribed drugs to the driver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I set out and talked to about eight lawyers,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They all turned him down. They told him a 1975 state law limited the malpractice award he could get to $250,000. That meant puny attorneys’ fees. The lawyers said it simply wasn’t cost effective for them to take his case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My reaction was ‘What?!’ That’s not democratic. That’s not America,” Pack says. “We all have the right to the court system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law that set the cap is called MICRA, the \u003ca title=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Injury_Compensation_Reform_Act\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Injury_Compensation_Reform_Act\" target=\"_blank\">Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act of 1975\u003c/a>, passed with the intention of keeping medical liability insurance costs low. Several other states followed suit. California’s law caps only non-economic damages, or pain and suffering awards. Economic damages –- money that accounts for medical expenses, or lost wages when a person can no longer work because of a medical mistake –- are not capped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But economic damages were no help in a case like Pack’s. His children had no jobs and therefore no lost wages. And they were dead, so they had no ongoing medical bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #000000\">A study from Emory University shows that \u003ca title=\" http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2147915\" href=\"//papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2147915\" target=\"_blank\">medical malpractice caps limit access to legal representation\u003c/a> for up to 95 percent of victims.\u003c/span> Children, the elderly and other people with no or very low incomes who cannot claim economic damages are the most affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the victim gets victimized a second time, not only by the harm or the loss of a loved one, but then they get no accountability or justice through the legal system,” Pack says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why some states have ruled such caps on pain and suffering awards unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pack thinks California’s non-economic malpractice award should at least be adjusted for inflation, so lawyers would be more willing to take legitimate cases. Prop. 46 would raise the cap from $250,000 to $1.1 million and provide an annual adjustment for inflation going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the CMA's Richard Thorp sees a big problem. “That will encourage additional lawsuits in the system.\" He argues more lawsuits will cause malpractice insurance premiums to go up, and those costs could drive doctors out of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ll start to see it become more difficult to recruit doctors to California,” he says. “And you’ll see doctors in the middle of their career start to look at it and say, 'Maybe I can find a practice someplace else in another state where it will be more financially viable and I wouldn’t have to worry about the same number of malpractice cases as I’m going to have to face in California.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a dozen other states have caps on pain and suffering awards similar to California’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a review of studies from the 1970s to the early 2000s, researchers writing for the Milbank Quarterly found that \u003ca title=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2690332/\" href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2690332/\" target=\"_blank\">damage caps do reduce malpractice insurance premiums\u003c/a>, but to what degree is a matter of debate, with study results ranging from 6 to 25 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No evidence was found that this savings gets passed on to consumers in the form of lower health insurance premiums, partly because malpractice insurance constitutes such a small percentage –- less than 2 –- of overall health care costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same review highlighted a study from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that found a link between doctor supply and non-economic damage caps. Specifically, rural counties in states where caps were set at $250,000 –- like California -– had 5.5 percent more surgeons and 5.4 percent more obstetricians/gynecologists, compared with states with a higher cap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/170078338&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies were inconclusive on whether doctors practice more “defensive medicine” in states with caps -– ordering more tests and procedures to avoid making mistakes and being sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County governments are especially concerned about the potential costs associated with Prop. 46.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twelve counties, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, operate their own hospital systems and would have to use taxpayer dollars to cover the costs of additional malpractice lawsuits. The state’s independent legislative analyst estimates that cost could be between tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LAO reports says some of that could be offset by savings from other parts of the measure, the prescription database and the most controversial piece of Prop. 46: doctor drug testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mandates Drug & Alcohol Testing for Doctors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has been the centerpiece of the \"Yes on Prop. 46\" campaign, inspiring campy ads of airline pilots and police officers dancing through the stalls of a public restroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All…of…the….pilots do it. Astronauts do it. Even the school bus drivers do it,” the ad goes. “Let’s do it. Let’s pee in a cup.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding doctors to that list seemed like an easy sell. Early polls indicated voters strongly favored the idea -– many thought it was already law. In fact, if Prop. 46 passes, California would be the first state in the country to require drug testing of doctors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re the only profession I know of that are charged to police ourselves,” says Stephen Loyd, a Tennessee physician who thinks California should lead the way in passing Prop. 46. For years, he says he practiced medicine while grappling with an addiction to painkillers. At his worst, he was taking 100 Vicodin pills a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here’s the scariest thing about it. I thought I was a better doctor. I thought I was sharper. Thought I didn’t need to sleep, thought I didn’t need to eat, I could go longer, I could see more patients,” he says. “But I wasn’t better, I was worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loyd’s father ultimately caught him using and forced him to go to rehab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 46 would give the Medical Board of California a year to set up a system to test doctors for drug and alcohol use, both randomly and within 12 hours after an unexpected patient death or serious injury at the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors groups say that goes too far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This approach is too heavy-handed and too inappropriate,” says CMA's Thorp. He says hospitals already have systems in place to suspend doctors who show up to work intoxicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s very little tolerance for anyone to come in either acting or smelling or having any kind of sign of being under the influence,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But do doctors really snitch on each other?
