Election Day is Tuesday! If you haven’t sent in your mail-in ballot yet, I’d like to remind you that your voice and vote are crucial for the future of healthcare in our state. Proposition 35 is on the ballot, a measure designed to protect access to healthcare services for all Californians. This proposition seeks to ensure that essential healthcare services remain accessible. Passing Proposition 35 is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make a significant impact, addressing current barriers to care and strengthening our healthcare infrastructure. To learn more about Proposition 35, please visit www.voteyes35.com. In addition, casting your vote for representatives who truly understand the complexities of healthcare – like Congressman Ami Bera, MD – can shape policy that protects both patients and practitioners. Dr. Bera brings unique insights as a physician and advocate, supporting measures that prioritize patient welfare and strengthen the healthcare workforce. To find out more about who’s on your ballot, how to register to vote, or where your polling location is, please visit CMA’s action center here. By voting, you help shape a healthcare system that works for all of us. Remember, your vote can make a difference. Thank you!
