Assembly Bill 650 is costly, dangerous and inequitable.

.@OCMA_OC President says why it’s critical to #StopAB650. “AB 650’s massive, unfunded price tag would fall to both health care consumers and on our health care system at a time when so many are struggling to recover from the last year. https://t.co/tBvNVgwTaI

“#AB650 would seriously jeopardize the care that CA’s most vulnerable communities rely on…putting quality care further out of reach for disadvantaged communities & threatening the livelihood of many medical practices...” says @OCMA_OC Pres. #StopAB650 https://t.co/tBvNVgfija

Public and private hospitals and other providers have gone to great lengths to reward and support health care workers during the pandemic. #AB650 is costly and dangerous and would reduce access to care for patients. #StopAB650

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

#AB650 imposes well over $7 billion in unfunded costs on public and private hospitals, clinics, skilled nursing facilities and other health care providers. These massive increases will only widen the gaps in access to health care among disadvantaged communities. #StopAB650

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

Under #AB650, Sacramento legislators will determine which essential workers are worthy of extra pay bonuses and which workers are not worthy. AB 650 excludes millions of essential workers like firefighters, paramedics, retail workers, restaurant workers and others. #StopAB650

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

#AB650 would increase health care costs by well over $7 billion. This more than $7 billion in unfunded, unbudgeted expenses will result in higher costs for consumers, including higher insurance costs, higher copays and higher deductibles. #StopAB650

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

As we emerge from the pandemic, we need to be investing and strengthening our health care safety net, not massively increasing costs that will decimate services. #AB650 is costly, dangerous and inequitable. #StopAB650 https://t.co/sVzvebXboJ

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

Hospitals, clinics and other providers have lost billions as a result of increased obligations during the pandemic and decreased revenues. At a time when many health care providers are already struggling, we must #StopAB650. It’s costly, dangerous and inequitable.

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

#AB650 would force deep cuts to vital health care services – shuttering public and private clinics, hospitals and other providers and jeopardizing safety net services. #StopAB650

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

Faced with more than $7 billion in unfunded higher costs, many health care providers will be forced to make difficult decisions around reducing worker hours, eliminating services or even shutting down altogether. #StopAB650

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

Opponents of #AB650 include community clinics, hospitals, physicians, skilled nursing facilities, senior advocates, business leaders and others who warn the measure is costly, dangerous and inequitable #StopAB650 https://t.co/9C2fTI5LZa

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

NO on #AB650. The enormous, unfunded costs imposed by #AB650 would likely leave hospitals, clinics and other health providers with no other option than to cut or eliminate services. #StopAB650 https://t.co/sVzvebFAxb

#StopAB650 which will devastate public healthcare districts that provide care for the most vulnerable populations.

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

#AB650 would raise health care costs by $7 billion and would shutter clinics, hospitals and safety net providers. It’s too costly, dangerous and inequitable. #StopAB650. https://t.co/sVzvebXboJ

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

#AB650 would lead to an increase in health care costs at a time when many Californians are suffering financial hardships. This will only widen the gaps in access to health care among low-income and disadvantaged communities. #StopAB650

Mayers Memorial Hospital District notes “AB 650 is a massive, unfunded $7 billion increase on health care consumers and on our health care system at a time when many health care providers are struggling due to the strain of the pandemic.” #StopAB650 https://t.co/lboxreP0ym

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

Today #CALeg passed #AB650 and made a dangerous bill even WORSE. This unfunded legislation now costs well OVER $7 billion to health care consumers and systems – crushing access to vital health care services #StopAB650 https://t.co/lboxrexp9M

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

#CALeg Assembly Appropriations Committee analysis for #AB650 says it would cost Medi-Cal “hundreds of millions” and “there will be significant one-time cost pressure on Medi-Cal managed care rates” #StopAB650 https://t.co/tTZ0MMEAM7

[Stop AB 650 @StopAB650]

Health care workers are heroes, but arbitrarily mandating pay bonuses for some while excluding others doesn’t make sense. #AB650 excludes millions of essential workers who gave their all during the pandemic. Let’s not pick winners and losers. #StopAB650
