A broad coalition of patients, healthcare providers, civil justice advocates and community leaders oppose Prop 44, a reckless statewide ballot proposition that threatens millions of California patients who rely on community health centers and clinics for their healthcare.
I/we oppose Prop 44, the dangerous ballot initiative that threatens care for millions of patients who rely on community health centers and clinics. California must act NOW and reject this reckless ballot measure to safeguard access to essential care for our most vulnerable communities.
Prop 44 would cut $1.7 billion from community clinics in the first year alone—forcing clinics to cut patient services or close, leaving millions of patients without essential care.
Prop 44 is so poorly written that it excludes funding for important patient care and staff services. As a result, nurse and physician managers, translation and transportation services, and more are at risk of being cut. Learn more about these arbitrary exclusions.
Prop 44 would force clinics to reduce services or close, leaving millions of patients without access to care. As a result, more patients would delay or skip preventive care and end up in emergency rooms, worsening ER overcrowding and wait times for all patients.
Community health centers and clinics are heavily regulated by the federal and state governments, with strict reporting requirements and audits.
