Arguments

Patients, healthcare professionals, veterans, faith leaders agree: YesOnProp23.com

Con

American Nurses AssociationCalifornia, California Medical Association, patient advocates strongly urge NO on 23! Prop. 23 would force many community dialysis clinics to shut down—threatening the lives of 80,000 California patients who need dialysis to survive. Prop. 23 increases health care costs by hundreds of millions annually; makes our doctor shortage and ER overcrowding worse. NoProposition23.com
