Watsonville Healthcare Workers to File Ballot Initiative   10-02-17 T.A.

(11:10) Watsonville – Watsonville Healthcare Workers will gather tomorrow morning to File a Ballot Initiative for the November 2018 municipal election that seeks to protect patients from being overcharged by Watsonville Community Hospital.  The proposed ballot initiative would limit Watsonville Community Hospital from charging patients more than 15 percent above a reasonable cost of providing care.   Excess charges would be refunded to patients or their insurance providers.   Organizers need to collect the signatures of 1,782 registered voters to qualify the measure for the November 6, 2018 election.   Healthcare workers will gather at 11 a.m.  tomorrow at Watsonville City Hall, 275 Main Street, in Watsonville.
