supervision during treatment that outpatient dialysis clinics that supervision could come from a physician nurse practitioner or physician assistant with 6 months of experience. the proposition is also aiming to increase the transparency of the clinics by requiring reports to california's department of public health clinics would have to provide updates on treatment-related infections clinic ownership and whether there are future plans to reduce or and services and those not complying would face fines up to $100,000. prop 29 would also prohibit clinics from refusing care based on who pays for the treatment, whether it's the patient health insurers, medi-cal or medicare. overall, the measure is similar to one that was rejected by more than 60% of the voters in 2020. so what's different this time around proposition 29 expands the

options for the type of onsite supervision during treatments. also new there is a requirement to report ownership interests. so what happens if prop 29 passes costs for dialysis clinics will go up by several $100,000 a year. that's because they be required to pay for a physician or nurse practitioner or physician assistant to be on site during all treatments. california's legislative analyst office has outlined 3 ways which clinic owners could respond to higher costs. the clinics could negotiate increased rates with patients or those paying for treatments. they could continue current operations spot with a lower profits or it could lead to some clinics being closed. the legislative analyst's office does acknowledge some clinics might not be willing or able to handle those options. prop 29 could also increase the costs for some state and local

governments. the clinic owners and operators negotiating higher prices with patients could end up forcing the state to pay more through medical and some patients might have to look for treatment at more expensive clinics if their original clinics have to shut down. prop 29 is supported by the service employees international union and united healthcare workers west. it is opposed by dozens of organizations, including the california dialysis council, the california medical association and the 2 companies which own or operate nearly 75% of the state's dialysis clinics. so yes, vote for prop 29 would mean that you support requiring clinics to pay for a licensed professional to supervise treatment. also, more transparency clinics, ownership and operation. a no vote would mean that the clinics would continue operating as they do. now.
