Episode notes
In California, the Managed Care Organization Provider Tax is paid by healthcare providers to fund the state’s healthcare program. Proposition 35 would make this tax permanent, and restrict the ways the government can use the funds. What does all of this mean for you, and how should you think about it at the ballot box? Join me on this week's episode of The California Conversation to discuss all of this and more, and to be prepared for the upcoming election in just a matter of weeks!
