Proposition 23, officially the Protect the Lives of Dialysis Patients Act Initiative, is a California ballot proposition that appeared on the ballot for the general election on November 3, 2020.[1] The proposition would increase regulations in Californian dialysis clinics, requiring them to have on-site physicians during treatment, report data on infections that might have been caused by dialyses, seek permission from the government of California prior to closing a clinic and strengthening anti-discrimination protections for dialysis patients.[2]

An overwhelming majority of California voters rejected this measure, by a margin of 63% to 37%, a margin of 26 percentage points.[3]

Background[edit]

Among other regulations, discrimination against patients on the basis of the source of payment for their care would be explicitly outlawed.[4]

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver outlined many of the problems inherent in the dialysis industry in California.[5]

Polling[edit]

In order to pass, it needs a simple majority (>50%).
