Arguments
Pro
Yes on 35 addresses our urgent healthcare crisis by securing dedicated funding—without raising taxes—to protect access to primary and specialty care, community clinics, hospitals, ERs, family planning, and mental health providers. Prop. 35 prevents the state from redirecting funds for non-healthcare purposes. Supported by Planned Parenthood, pediatricians, California Medical Association. www.VoteYes35.com
