Californians will vote on Proposition 34 in November, which aims to increase accountability in the 340B drug discount program for healthcare funding. The initiative targets providers that misuse funds for purposes other than direct patient care, such as housing and homelessness initiatives. Advocates argue that some entities are not meeting basic patient safety standards. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a nonprofit involved in direct patient care and housing for low-income individuals, is under scrutiny. The initiative supporters believe it will lower healthcare costs and provide relief to patients and taxpayers. If passed, providers not meeting the requirements could lose their license and nonprofit status.
