MCHC joins community health centers, healthcare providers, patients, and community leaders across California in opposing Proposition 44.

Prop 44 would impose strict spending requirements on nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Centers, potentially reducing funding for essential clinic operations and patient services.

Community health centers like MCHC provide critical medical, dental, behavioral health, prevention, outreach, care coordination, and transportation support—services that are especially essential in rural and underserved communities.

Why We Oppose Prop 44

Prop 44 could:

• Reduce access to essential healthcare
• Force clinics to cut services, staff, or hours
• Disproportionately impact rural and underserved communities
• Increase pressure on emergency rooms
• Add unnecessary restrictions to clinics already subject to extensive oversight
