What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

California Proposition 44 requires community clinics that serve low-income patients to dedicate 90% of their annual revenue to patient care. The measure directs the attorney general to issue guidance on qualifying spending and allows the state to fine clinics that do not meet the mandate. Tory Starr, CEO of Open Door Community Health Centers, expressed concern that the proposition could interfere with the clinics' financial decision-making processes.
