Proposition 52 is aCalifornia ballot proposition that passed on the November 8, 2016 ballot, regarding indefinitely extending an existing charge on hospitals to fundMedi-Cal health care services. The charge, called the "Hospital Quality Assurance Fee", has been collected since 2009 with temporary renewals and was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2018.[2]
Arguments for the measure stated that the charge helps to secure more than $4 billion in federalmatching funds annually. Additionally, the measure would help curtail the diversion of some of the funds to things other than Medi-Cal.[3] Arguments against the measure stated that it lacks oversight and that there would still be no guarantee that funds would be spent on healthcare.[4][5]
