ARGUMENTS

PRO Prop. 44 holds community clinics and their executives accountable by requiring that 90% of clinic revenue be spent on clinics’ charitable mission: patient care and services that make care possible. It increases transparency, reduces wasteful executive spending, and ensures healthcare dollars go where they belong: caring for Californians in need.

CON Prop. 44 is a dangerous measure that will shut down hundreds of community health clinics and eliminate vital patient services for millions of Californians. American Academy of Pediatrics CA, California Medical Association, California Academy of Family Physicians, California School Nurses Organization, doctors, nurses and patients urge NO on 44! www.NOProp44.com
