What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The California Medical Association and California Association of Health Plans filed a lawsuit in the California Supreme Court challenging a tax approved by the executive branch regarding health plans. The plaintiffs allege the managed care organization tax, or MCO tax, violates a 2024 initiative that limits healthcare taxes and directs revenue toward specific purposes. The tax is intended to help fund Medi-Cal, the state’s insurance program.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The challenge centers on whether the tax allows the state to make necessary changes to fund healthcare services. The executive branch maintains the tax allows the state to make changes to fund healthcare, while the plaintiffs argue the state cannot ignore the terms of Proposition 35.

The tax is part of a larger push by the executive branch to address budget projections and fund state healthcare programs.
