洛杉矶州要求征收10.25%的销售税 来资助健康和食品计划 在大规模覆盖面损失的情况下 Los Angeles County seeks a 10.25% sales tax to fund health and food programs amid massive coverage losses.

洛杉矶州正提议将销售税提高一半至10.25%,以便在五年内每年产生10亿美元,解决联邦和州削减医疗保健和粮食援助方面的24亿美元资金缺口。 Los Angeles County is proposing a half-cent sales tax increase to 10.25% to generate $1 billion annually for five years, addressing a $2.4 billion funding gap from federal and state cuts to healthcare and food assistance. 这项措施要求选民批准,并可能出现在2026年6月的选票上,其目的是在包括近27 000名儿童在内的120 000多人在2025年7月至11月期间丧失了Medi-Cal和CalFresh的覆盖范围后,防止医院关闭、裁员和减少服务。 The measure, which requires voter approval and could appear on the June 2026 ballot, aims to prevent hospital closures, staff layoffs, and service reductions after over 120,000 people, including nearly 27,000 children, lost Medi-Cal and CalFresh coverage between July and November 2025. 税收将为卫生服务、公共卫生方案和社会安全网提供资金,并由公民委员会进行监督。 The tax would fund health services, public health programs, and social safety nets, with oversight by a citizens’ committee. 如果监督委员会拒绝该提案,联盟计划推行投票倡议。 If the Board of Supervisors rejects the proposal, a coalition plans to pursue a ballot initiative.
