What’s happening: The Yes on Proposition (Prop) 35 campaign is heating up — members are encouraged to join the coalition supporting the initiative, which would make permanent an existing fee on managed care organizations that enables the state to draw on federal matching funds to improve Medi-Cal.
What else to know: Campaign materials — including buttons, stickers, pocket cards, pamphlets, and window signs in both English and Spanish — are now available to order.
Prop 35 will be on the November ballot and, if successful, is expected to generate between $5 billion and $11 billion annually for hospitals, doctors, federally qualified health centers, and others who care for Medi-Cal patients. Of that amount, as much as $1.4 billion is expected to be allocated to hospitals in 2025, with the amount growing to an estimated $2.6 billion annually starting in 2027.
CHA is a key leader and funder of Prop 35 on behalf of California hospitals, but hospitals’ support and engagement in the Yes on Prop 35 campaign is essential. Campaign materials should be used to promote this important ballot measure to hospital leadership, board members, physicians, and community leaders. To order materials, complete this form.
