Cynical Ballot Measure Would Drive Best and Brightest from California, Harming Patient Care

“At a time when California’s health care system will be tested like never before, it’s regrettable that one organization is driving the best and brightest minds away from our state, said Carmela Coyle, President & CEO of the California Hospital Association. “Rather than working together to protect patient care on the heels of unprecedented federal cuts to health care resources, this unnecessary and cynical ballot measure will only further strain our health care system by making it more difficult to recruit and retain thoughtful and mission-driven leaders who are best able to find innovative ways to preserve access to vital health care services.”
