California's Billionaire Tax Proposal Targets Wealth and Healthcare Costs
What happened
SEIU United Healthcare Workers West drove support for Proposition 40, a proposed Billionaire Tax Act in California. This measure would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on California residents whose net worth exceeds $1 billion. Supporters framed the initiative as a firewall against potential federal Medicaid rollbacks.

Why it matters
The revenue generated by Proposition 40 is intended to stabilize healthcare access for low-income Californians through Medi-Cal, with 90% of the funds dedicated to this purpose. The remaining 10% would be directed toward education and food assistance programs.
