Vulnerable Californians who rely on the care provided by California hospitals are at risk. Driven by skyrocketing costs for labor, pharmaceuticals, regulatory mandates, and more, 53% of all hospitals statewide lose money every day to deliver patient care.

That isn’t sustainable. And California is already seeing the frightening result: rural health care services being cut to the bone, severe behavioral health care needs not being met, and more.

Issue Brief

Critical Support Opportunities

Medi-Cal and Medicare, which cover millions of Californians, need protection and support. The managed care organization tax, which will expand access to care for Medi-Cal patients through improved provider reimbursement; and the Hospital Quality Assurance Fee Program, which provides hospitals with federally matched supplemental payments, help ensure seniors and low-income Californians can access critical health care services.
