🚨A reckless ballot measure threatens millions of CA patients who rely on health centers and clinics. If it passes in Nov. 2026:
🩺Patients will lose access to care
👪More patients will end up in ERs
💸Costs for patients, the state, and taxpayers will increase by billions

⚠️Instead of increasing healthcare access and equity, a reckless ballot measure will INCREASE health inequalities and put vulnerable patients at great risk.

A dangerous measure threatens care for millions who rely on health centers. It would divert billions from patient care, risk clinic closures, and excludes funding for vital services like nurse managers, translation services, and community outreach. bit.ly/49TJdJn
