Restores $750 million per year in cuts to crucial health services

President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is expected to soon claw $750 million per year from Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, which oversees four public hospitals and roughly two dozen community clinics. Without this ballot measure, thousands of essential healthcare workers are expected to be laid off, leading to closures of primary care facilities, community clinics, ERs and longer wait times for care.

​

Our most vulnerable and working-class communities are the most at risk

Medi-Cal is being eliminated for over a million low-income families. Health insurance premiums for middle and working-class families are expected to nearly double, forcing many to drop their insurance and causing emergency rooms and primary care offices to fill up as more families are left with no other alternative to seek care.

Everyone will be impacted if we don’t restore the health cuts

The Trump health cuts crisis affects more than just a few hospitals or those on Medi-Cal; it will impact everyone. When emergency rooms and community clinics close, patients do not simply disappear—they crowd into the nearest hospital or primary care facility. This means skyrocketing wait times, increased costs, and a decline in the quality of care. Even those on private insurance will feel the blow of longer wait times, higher costs, and greater distances to care when every minute counts.

The Essential Healthcare Restoration Act for Los Angeles County

is strongly supported by essential health care providers because they know it’s crucial to ensuring continued access to health and emergency care services for every resident throughout the county.
