Proposition 4: Authorizes Bonds Funding Construction at Hospitals  Providing Children’s Health Care. Initiative Statute.          Recommendation: SUPPORT

Picture

This measure will authorize $1.5 billion in general obligation bonds to build, renovate, expand, and equip up-to-date non-profit and public hospitals that serve the health care needs of infants and children.  The distribution is 72% to seven non-profit hospitals, 18% to five University of California general acute hospitals, and 10% to public and private hospitals that provide services to children eligible for California Children’s Services.  
 
Bond funding for bricks-and-mortar or durable equipment is a good investment.  As technology expands in pediatrics, the children of California should have access to the highest standards of care. These bond funds will permit statewide access in most regions to that standard of care.
