CMA opposes SEIU-UHW's 90% patient care spending measure as dangerous
Issue
SEIU-UHW submitted signatures in April 2026 for two ballot measures, one capping health care executive pay and one requiring community clinics to spend 90% of revenue on patient care. The California Medical Association called the clinic measure dangerous and formed the Protect Patients coalition against it.
A spending floor could limit health center reserves and capital spending.
