Last week, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) California, representing 700,000 working people in all 58 California counties, announced its strong opposition to the trial lawyer-backed anti-MICRA ballot measure.

In a statement announcing their opposition, California SEIU State Council President Laphonza Butler noted that the initiative would “reduce access to health care and damage California’s health care safety net, especially for the working poor and underserved communities” at a time when the state is still working to implement the largest expansion of care seen in generations.

Recently, the coalition to defeat the anti-MICRA measure also added as members the California Chamber of Commerce and the American Civil Liberties Union of California.

These recent announcements add to a diverse and growing collation of trusted doctors, community health clinics, hospitals, family-planning organizations, local leaders, public safety official, businesses and working men and women urging Californians to oppose the proposed MICRA ballot measure.
