This measure is written so broadly that it would impact thousands of health care workers in leadership positions at hospitals and physician group practices — many of the health care leaders who provide and support quality care. Arbitrary pay caps — the only one of its kind in the country — will push health care leaders to other states or professions. The measure impacts vital health care workers, including:

  • Leaders of physician groups and doctors’ practices that provide specialty care like cancer treatment, OB/GYN, maternity services, pediatrics, cardiology, memory care, surgery services and more
  • Chief Nursing Officers at hospitals that oversee quality care initiatives, nurse recruitment, retention and training and patient care plans
  • Chief Medical Officers at hospitals that oversee physicians and patient care
  • Leaders in surgery, emergency rooms, oncology, obstetrics, cardiology, pediatrics and other specialties at hospitals

California’s health care system is facing unprecedented challenges, including tens of billions of dollars in federal cuts, workforce shortages, lack of access and long wait times to see doctors, specialists, or receive cancer or surgical care. This measure will make a bad problem worse by pushing skilled doctors, nurses and health care leaders out of our state — diminishing quality care and draining talent and leadership when it is needed most.

This measure attacks hospital and physician leaders, but excludes leaders of health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and other health care entities. These arbitrary exclusions prove that this measure is all about politics and not rational policy.

This measure will not lower health care costs at all and, in fact, could increase costs as hospitals and physician groups lose quality leaders that ensure health care services are delivered efficiently and effectively. We risk losing quality health care workers and services without achieving any cost savings or any other benefits.
