- Judge balks at health centers’ attempt to block ballot measure
A California judge declined to block a ballot measure requiring federally qualified health centers to spend 90% of revenue on patient services, with plaintiffs arguing the initiative conflicts with federal law and would cause $1.7 billion in penalties. The health centers claim the measure would force most facilities to operate at a loss and threaten millions of patient visits.
