Proposition 44 wrongly squeezes politics between California patients and their healthcare
Proposition 44 would require community clinics to spend 90% of their revenue on patient care and empower the state Attorney General to settle disputes. Critics warn that the measure sets strict spending requirements for non-profit health centers, potentially putting billions of dollars at risk and could force safety-net care facilities to close. Community health clinics serve millions of patients annually, including those who are uninsured or rely on Medi-Cal.
