CCALAC joins a broad coalition of patients, health care providers, community leaders and more in opposing Proposition 44, a dangerous statewide ballot measure that will harm millions of patients by shutting down hundreds of community health clinics across the state and forcing clinics to cut back on vital patient services.
About Proposition 44:
- Cuts $1.7 billion from California’s community health clinics in the first year and billions thereafter.
- Forces community health clinics to cut vital patient services or shut down entirely, leaving millions of patients with reduced access to care.
- Millions of patients will lose access to care and end up in hospital emergency rooms for routine care, resulting in more emergency room overcrowding, longer wait times and billions of dollars in higher costs for everyone.
- Opposed by a broad and growing coalition of patients, doctors, nurses, more than 1,000 community health clinics, and nearly 100 organizations representing patients, doctors, nurses, providers, community leaders and leading health care organizations.
We encourage Angelenos to stand with us in opposing Proposition 44 this November. Together, we can protect access to care for millions of patients and the community health clinics communities across the state rely on.
