I recognize that if you're used to working inside the normal Democratic party machine, you're probably used to people setting things up so that only they benefit, but SEIU-UHW has a *long* track record of doing things for the greater public good & to protect healthcare & healthcare workers overall.

Just like when that same union qualified a ballot measure in 2016 to raise the CA minimum wage (which got the legislature & Jerry Brown to pass a bill instead) it didn't just apply to their members. Nor did their PPE stockpile law, or the healthcare worker COVID bonus, or the healthcare minimum wage

I'm just going to try to break it down here as simply as possible: Prop. 40 helps any hospital or clinic that takes Medi-Cal patients, which is basically all of them. It is not limited to places where the members of that union work.

No, they don't. That's just completely untrue. No members of the union that put this on the ballot work for any entity of the insurance company. And the initiative is designed to replace the missing $100 billion in federal funds, because that is the emergency situation we need to address.

Jumping Jesus on a pogostick, I just realized that you're conflating "United Healthcare" (an insurance company) with "SEIU-United Healthcare Workers - West" which is a statewide healthcare workers' union that has ZERO connection to the insurance company. Please, stop spreading uninformed lies

You can continue trying to sealion this all you want by raising increasingly ludicrous "objections" that a basic reading of the text show to be false, but it doesn't change the facts. You're clearly invested in the BS you're peddling, which means someone you trust is *lying to you* Look into that

There are 83 hospitals around the state that are at-risk of closure, over 3 Mil Californians will lose coverage & costs for the rest of us are predicted to double. Prop. 40 is literally the ONLY solution that's been put forward for this, & it makes sure the costs don't fall on regular working folks

It's predicted to be $100 billion in cuts over the first 5 years, Prop. 40 is provides a 5-year runway so the state can find an ongoing solution. If you think CA has an extra $20 billion a year lying around to fund this starting in 2 months, you're being ridiculous.

To be clear, folks, when I say I know what's in Prop. 40, I don't mean it in a, "I read the ballot arguments," way, or even in a, "I read the full text," way, I mean it in a, "this is me with two of the drafters backstage at the SF Bernie rally," way.
Three people backstage in very purple light. One (me) is wearing a Flomask & headset, two (Brian Galle & Darien Shanske) are balding guys in button down shirts, Brian has a "Yes on 40" button, all of us are in glasses.

Please stop listening to whoever is feeding you lies. The bill sets aside 10% of the funding for K-14 education & food assistance, so it absolutely funds schools. And Planned Parenthood gets funding through Medi-Cal, and the 90% of the funding that goes to healthcare goes to filling cuts to Medi-Cal

*At most* since us the funds could be used to subsidize insurance policies purchased on the state exchange - but that would adamantly NOT be new or increased money for insurance companies, it would be helping people to maintain the healthcare policies they already chose. You are being mislead.

It's written so carefully that the funds can't even be redirected to other uses within healthcare, so they certainly can't be misdirected to insurance companies.

This is absolute bullshit, to the point where you are either a paid operative or a complete idiot. The initiative is explicit that the healthcare portion of the funds can only be used to backfill the federal healthcare cuts.

You're about to be added to our responses for Prop. 40 opponents. There's a new series of ads the billionaires are pushing claiming that wealth taxes have failed in other countries where they've been tried, so it's great to be able to refute that from an independent source. #YesOn40 #NoOn41 #NoOn42

Prop. 40 explicitly funds education, *and* will provide more funding for Planned Parenthood clinics. That's why so many PP workers are coming out *against* the position their CEO (a former lobbyist and Newsom crony) took without their approval. Check it out: jodidoesntspeakforme.com

Maxine Waters is a huge part of the reason why the CA Dem Party officially endorsed Prop. 40 - she stood on the floor during the vote and shamed some of the fence-sitters into doing the right thing - so she should definitely be counted as a supporter. Vote Yes on 40, and No on 41 & 42!

This is a direct result of the law seeing children as the property of their parents, rather than as individuals with their own rights and interest in existence regardless of the parents' beliefs. I don't want to hear shit about the "consciousness of AI" until we agree on the consciousness of kids.
