Physician Association of California Joins Growing Coalition Opposing Prop 44

Reckless measure will force clinics to close, harming millions of vulnerable patients

SACRAMENTO, CA — The Physician Association of California today announced its opposition to Prop 44, the dangerous statewide ballot measure that threatens access to care for millions of California patients. The organization said its opposition reflects independent physicians’ commitment to ensuring vulnerable patients have access to high-quality care.

“Proposition 44 is a dangerous measure that will shut down hundreds of much-needed community clinics,” said Dr. Omer Deen, President of the Physician Association of California. “That is why PAC is proud to join our physician colleagues, teachers, nurses and community leaders urging Californians to vote no on Prop. 44.” 

Prop 44 will cut $1.7 billion in the first year alone from community health clinics and billions thereafter. As a result, clinics that care for millions of patients every year will be forced to cut patient services and shut down, jeopardizing access to care. Physician Association of California joins a broad, growing coalition of patients, healthcare providers, civil justice advocates, and community leaders opposing Prop 44.
