Measure prioritizes funding for a select group of health care providers over the care of low-income Californians.
Despite Proposition 35’s promises to help fix the health care crisis in California, this measure would undo the investments vulnerable people need.
Medi-Cal is the state’s health insurance program for people with low incomes. Among those who count on Medi-Cal are one in three California children, millions of seniors, people with disabilities and working families who don’t get health care coverage at work. What’s more, a strong Medi-Cal program benefits all of us, regardless of where we receive our health care.
Both sides of Proposition 35 support that tax. The dispute is in part over how to spend it and who should benefit. The ballot measure rolls back recent progress in community investments, prioritizing funding for a select group of health care providers over the holistic care our communities need. It prioritizes powerful interests over equitable resources for community care. If Proposition 35 passes, it would lock in funding for deep-pocketed interests year after year while leaving communities diminished opportunity to make their voices heard about their health care needs. And there is no accountability in the measure to ensure that increased provider payments actually generate better health outcomes for patients.
