      <title>LA Measure ER on June 2 Ballot — &apos;Essential Services Restoration Act&apos; Polling 45/47 Against, 12 Days to ~$1B/yr Safety-Net Backfill Vote</title>
      <link>https://www.fqhctalent.com/intel/la-measure-er-june-2-vote-polling-45-47</link>
      <description>Los Angeles County Measure ER — officially the &apos;Essential Services Restoration Act for Los Angeles County&apos; — heads to voters June 2, 2026 with polling showing 47% opposed vs. 45% in favor. The half-cent sales tax (0.5%) for 5 years (Oct 2026 → 2031) generates ~$1B/year for safety-net hospitals and clinics. Exclusions: groceries, prescription drugs, medical equipment. If it fails: LA County FQHCs lose key state/local backfill against ~$1.5B in federal cuts; KFF reports DHS&apos;s $6.5B budget is 70% Medicaid-dependent with $750M revenue loss by FY2027-28 (~10% revenue loss); some LA clinic networks could lose 20% of annual budget. Strategic implication for LA FQHC executives: (1) Mobilize patient/community voter education TODAY — 12-day window; (2) Brief boards on Plan B scenarios for failure case (Sept 2026 budget revisions, layoff timing, sliding-fee expansion costs); (3) Coordinate get-out-the-vote with CCALAC&apos;s 450+ LA County health center site network; (4) Engage AltaMed, St. John&apos;s, LA LGBT Center, Eisner, Watts, Venice Family, Northeast Valley, T.H.E., El Proyecto, Clinica Romero on coordinated messaging before June 2.
