California Proposition 35 (Program Repeat)

MONDAY, OCTOBER 7
PROGRAM #10536 11:00 AM PT

California Proposition 35. (Program Repeat). 

Proponents of Proposition 35, an initiative in California’s November ballot, plan to create a dedicated and ongoing stream of funding to provide health care for the state’s low-income residents by taxing managed-care health plans and use the money to better pay physicians, hospitals, and community clinics. Opponents feel that the proposition puts at risk millions of dollars secured for patients, workers, and programs in this year’s state budget. What’s in the plan? Both sides air their arguments in this edition of the series “Hacia el Voto 2024.” This program was originally aired on October 1, 2024.

Guests: Dr. Ramses Sánchez, Physician Assistant, Camarena Health, Yes on Proposition 35, Madera, CA; Mayra Alvarez, Executive Director, The Children’s Partnership, No on Proposition 35, Los Angeles, CA.

Latino Voters in North Carolina. North Carolina’s Latino population is growing faster than any racial group in the state and now exceeds one million people. However, Latino voter turnout went down in the last election after having increased in the past two midterm elections. Community groups are working to reenergize the Latino vote and are currently touring the state to register new voters.

Guest: Marlene Martinez, Deputy Field Director, Siembra NC, Thomasville, NC.
