THIS INITIATIVE WILL:
Provide funds to keep hospitals and doctors’ offices open, and expand access to healthcare – without raising taxes.
Provide more funding for primary and specialty care, mental health, expanded emergency room access, affordable prescription drugs, family planning, dental care, and to hire more healthcare workers.
Ensure that healthcare dollars are actually spent on patient care, requiring 99% of the money raised to go to patient care while ensuring administrative expenses are limited to 1%.
WHAT IS THE PROTECT ACCESS TO CARE ACT?
The Coalition to Protect Access to Care is supporting a measure on the November 2024 ballot to address California’s health care crisis.
As hospitals, clinics and maternity wards close across California, the measure ensures that existing healthcare taxes are used as they were intended. It will provide funds to keep hospitals, clinics and doctors’ offices open, and expand access to healthcare – without raising taxes.
It places a cap on how much politicians can raise taxes on health insurance, requiring 99% of existing healthcare taxes to go to patient care and ensuring administrative expenses are limited to 1%.
