County leaders are pushing a half-cent sales tax on the June 2 ballot to generate $1 billion annually, aiming to preserve critical health care access. 这项措施得到诊所律师的支持,将有助于防止裁员,维持为200多万低收入居民提供的服务,并避免预计到2028年将减少300万迈迪-卡尔的入学率。 The measure, supported by clinic advocates, would help prevent layoffs, maintain services for over 2 million low-income residents, and avoid a projected 3 million Medi-Cal enrollment drop by 2028. 密歇根、罗得岛和华盛顿也提出了类似的税收提议,以抵消联邦削减额。 Similar tax proposals are emerging in Michigan, Rhode Island, and Washington to offset federal reductions.
