“Added administrative burdens will cause individuals who are eligible for Medicaid to lose or be denied coverage,” the plaintiffs write. “People with disabilities, patients in the middle of cancer treatment, or those struggling with another serious or complex health condition, shouldn’t be at risk of losing the care that helps maintain their health.” https://t.co/0U1UyaRHSE

[NO on Prop 44 - Stop the Attack on Patients @NOProp44]

Vote NO on Prop 44 to protect care for millions of California patients. This dangerous measure would divert billions away from community health centers and clinics, threatening essential services and putting vulnerable patients at risk.

"Despite discussions that could have avoided an irresponsible ballot measure from moving forward, SEIU-UHW will forge ahead with its dangerous initiative that would jeopardize care for more than 6 million patients who rely on community health centers and clinics for their healthcare. According to CPCA's President & CEO Francisco Silva, "We will not allow California’s most vulnerable patients to be used as political pawns. Our broad coalition will mount an aggressive campaign to educate voters, defeat this reckless initiative, and protect care for millions of patients."

Quick reaction from opposing coalition including California Medical Association (CMA) President René Bravo, M.D., California Primary Care Association (CPCA) President and CEO Francisco Silva, and California School Boards Association (CSBA) CEO and Executive Director Vernon M. Billy regarding the measure proceeding to the November ballot:

“The dangerous wealth tax directly threatens vital funding for education and schools, healthcare and clinics, public safety, and infrastructure projects by making California’s revenue even more volatile. That’s why so many leaders – both Democrats and Republicans – are joining us and saying NO. We look forward to ensuring voters have the facts, know the stakes, and resoundingly reject this reckless experiment in November.”

“As a pediatrician, I know how important it is for kids to have access to care to keep them healthy and thriving," said CMA President René Bravo, M.D. "This ballot measure will threaten that access for millions of children who rely on community clinics for their routine, preventative and emergency health care. We cannot afford to create more barriers to care for the most vulnerable among us – especially not children. The California Medical Association stands with our clinic partners in protecting patients and is committed to defeating this reckless initiative."
