"No on 46" Campaign Victorious November 5, 2014 Alert, General, Press Release MICRA, MICRA Coalition, No On 46, No On 46 Campaign, Prop 46 0 We did it! A coalition of nearly 1,000 organizations, led by CMA and OCMA, successfully - and resoundingly - defeated Proposition 46. Here are the results that were posted early this morning: No: 67.1% / 3,415,996 votes Yes: 32.9% / 1,671,163 votes This unworkable proposition would have dramatically altered MICRA by making it easier to file lawsuits against health care providers, increasing health care costs, reducing access to care and ultimately generating more legal fees for lawyers. Despite the proponents' attempt to confuse voters about Proposition 46, the public decisively voiced its desire to preserve MICRA and all of its protections. This win is proof that Californians agree on the importance of access to quality health care across the state and they won't be fooled by political sweeteners. OCMA and CMA will continue to stay vigilant in our work with the legislature to ensure that your elected representatives remember what the people said on Election Day 2014. We will continue to work to ensure that MICRA is protected. Thank you for your hard work, ongoing efforts and financial contributions to defeat Proposition 46! We couldn't have done it without you.
