California's Proposition 23 on this November’s ballot would require
outpatient kidney dialysis clinics to have a licensed physician on
site during operating hours and to report certain medical data to
government officials, among other rules. Supporters, including the
Service Employees International Union, say the rules are needed to
keep patients safe. But opponents say that clinics already supply
relevant data to health officials and that keeping a doctor on duty
is unnecessary and would be so costly that some clinics might have
to close. We'll analyze the arguments for and against Proposition
23.
