Op/Ed: Proposition 46 - A Harmful Direction for Patients
Submitted by paula on Fri, 09/12/2014 - 8:59pm
Backers of California Proposition 46 claim it will protect the patient and reduce patient harm. While the initiative argues patient safeguards and seems well-intended, the proposition is flawed and costly. If passed as written, Proposition 46 would discourage doctors from working in California, jeopardize patient privacy, and increase patient and government healthcare costs.
