Vote No on Proposition 46

10/12/2014

 
Proposition 46, which will appear on the November 2014 ballot, will weaken the Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA). MICRA is California's model medical malpractice reform law that keeps malpractice rates in California stable by limiting noneconomic damages in malpractice awards while providing unlimited economic and punitive damages.

The main goal of Proposition 46 is to quadruple MICRA’s cap on noneconomic damages. If enacted, it has been estimated that lifting MICRA’s cap would increase health care costs by almost $10 billion per year in California, or approximately $1,000 per family of four. The proposition is veiled as a “patient safety” initiative, mandating random and incident-driven drug testing of physicians.  In addition, it mandates that physicians, pharmacists and other providers utilize an unproven government-run computer system containing patients’ drug prescription history.

We at East Bay Pediatrics ask you to vote NO on 46.
