\u201cThe Senate was proud to champion the Fair Share from Big Corporation Act to ensure taxpayers no longer pay a public subsidy to meet a corporation\u2019s responsibility for employee healthcare,\u201d said Senate President pro Tempore Monique Lim\u00f3n. \u201cRequiring corporations to pay their fair share will help ease the burden the state faces due to federal healthcare cuts. I am grateful we are taking steps today to develop a plan to implement this future policy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTrump handed massive corporations billions in tax breaks, yet they still aren\u2019t paying their fair share for employees who depend on Medi-Cal,\u201d said Speaker of the Assembly Robert Rivas. \u201cIf Congress won\u2019t reverse Trump\u2019s draconian health cuts, California will need to find new ways forward \u2014 and this legislation advances that effort, looking for a balance that protects workers, taxpayers and California\u2019s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate Governor Newsom\u2019s partnership in advancing this important legislation,\u201d said Senator John Laird (D-Santa Cruz). \u201cIt strengthens Medi-Cal, protects taxpayers, and helps ensure that large employers contribute fairly toward the health care costs of their workforce. California taxpayers should not be left subsidizing costs that large employers can afford to shoulder themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCalifornians are losing healthcare coverage because of federal cuts that bankroll tax breaks for the wealthiest residents of this nation and the largest corporations in the country,\u201d said Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Oakland).\u00a0\u201cAll while pushing employees onto public benefits becomes a business strategy for some of those same corporations. While executives profit, my constituents are getting sick and delaying the care they need because they can\u2019t afford it. This bill is a victory for advocates within and outside the Legislature, securing a common-sense step toward ensuring corporations actually pay their fair share.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe Senate was proud to champion the Fair Share from Big Corporation Act to ensure taxpayers no longer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8],"class_list":["post-391676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
