Jerry Brown has signed a bill granting whistleblower protections to legislative staffers who report sexual misconduct or other misbehavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown signed AB 403 hours after it passed the Assembly unanimously on Monday. It takes effect immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSACRAMENTO — The California Assembly on Monday unanimously passed a bill granting whistleblower protections to legislative staff members who say they are badly needed to ensure sexual misconduct and other misbehavior can be reported without fear of retaliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will take effect immediately if signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. The Senate passed it last week after stonewalling a similar measure for four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative staff members donning black gathered in the Assembly gallery and balcony to watch the debate and planned to rally outside the Capitol to support the bill’s passage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re not standing alone,” Democratic Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia of Bell Gardens told them from the floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure comes after legislative leaders on Friday released 11 years’ worth of documents outlining sexual misconduct investigations and discipline against lawmakers and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”BVN9N5O48G2Tg7qtrJ7ynCzRZirZz7gE”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those documents \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2018/02/02/four-lawmakers-named-in-newly-released-sexual-harassment-documents/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revealed complaints against four sitting lawmakers\u003c/a> for behavior ranging from unwanted touching to crude conversations about sex and about a half-dozen complaints against staff members. Eight allegations of sexual harassment are pending before the Assembly, according to additional documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics said the documents do not illustrate the full universe of sexual harassment and misconduct at the Capitol because they did not include complaints that were not investigated. They also said legislative staff members and lawmakers say people often do not report harassment or misconduct because they fear retaliation. Legislative employees are at-will employees who are currently not protected by whistleblower protections given to other state employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature’s sexual harassment policies prohibit retaliation, but Assembly lawmakers argued whistleblower protections need to be enshrined in law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”alFnYxQZPqc2IzAUU3WFfMs1QaJxicKd”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We owe an apology to the staff; they have long deserved this protection,” said Republican Assemblywoman Catharine Baker. “They work hard every day to make sure we look good, we do better and we succeed in representing our districts. Every one of us should have their backs — this institution should have had their backs long ago.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill by Republican Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez received renewed attention last fall after nearly 150 women in California politics signed an open letter calling sexual harassment pervasive in the Capitol amid a national awakening on the topic. Two Assembly lawmakers have since resigned and a state senator is on suspension amid an investigation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

As research comes out, we’ll be happy to make changes indicated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research to date has already compelled the league to make some changes. Over the past eight years, Pop Warner set up its medical advisory committee, eliminated kickoffs in the youngest age groups and mandated safety training for coaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also did away with full-speed tackling drills during practice, said medical adviser Bailes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the exposure to thousands of blows to the head is really what we’re trying to reduce,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the league still hasn’t done enough. That argument got a boost from\u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/brain/advance-article/doi/10.1093/brain/awx350/4815697\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a recent study\u003c/a> out of Boston University.

"content": "\u003cp>The Bay Area city of Richmond recently made an unlikely move that got the attention of its largest employer and taxpayer, Chevron.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It followed other municipalities and counties across California that have filed lawsuits against oil companies, alleging that the energy giants knowingly contributed to climate change and should begin paying for it. Literally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employing the legal strategy that brought states major payouts from tobacco companies decades ago, the plaintiffs are demanding that oil interests begin writing checks to protect Californians against rising seas, crippling drought and harmful air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal viability of the lawsuits is unclear; the cases are in early stages. But if any succeed, the implications are profound: The state is already spending hundreds of millions of dollars to shore up coastlines, protect infrastructure and retrofit roads and bridges in response to rising seas. And if companies are persuaded to drill and refine less oil, California has a much better chance of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions on the schedule it has set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Richmond, plaintiffs include the cities of Imperial Beach, Oakland, Santa Cruz and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hbsslaw.com/uploads/case_downloads/climate_change/2017-09-19complaintforpublicnuisance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco,\u003c/a> and the counties of Marin, San Mateo and Santa Cruz. The Los Angeles City Council is considering its own suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has not joined in, something environmental groups say is a failure of leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Accountability is critical,” said Kassie Siegel, director of the Climate Law Institute at the Center for Biological Diversity. “The state of California can and should file a case seeking money damages and also an injunction against ongoing activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Justice has sued the Trump administration two dozen times over policies that include several related to the environment. Asked whether the state would join the cities and counties or consider filing its own suit against the oil companies, the Justice Department declined to comment about potential future action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city-county suits began six months ago when Imperial Beach, in southern San Diego County, sued a handful of oil companies. Richmond, surrounded on three sides by water and imperiled by rising seas, joined the fight Jan. 22. Its city council voted unanimously to \u003ca href=\"http://blogs2.law.columbia.edu/climate-change-litigation/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/case-documents/2018/20180122_docket-C18-00055_complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sue\u003c/a> 29 oil producers, even if it meant taking on Chevron, whose tax payments -- $45 million in 2016 -- account for 25 percent of the city’s general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are a pretty important corporate citizen,” Richmond Mayor Tom Butt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, “we are a waterfront city -- Richmond has 32 miles of shoreline on the bay. Part of our city is vulnerable to sea-level rise: our transportation systems, neighborhoods and commercial areas, and thousands of acres of waterfront park.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those vulnerable venues is Chevron’s refinery, which sits at the edge of San Francisco Bay. Completed in 1902, this refinery, the state’s largest, was immediately dubbed “the colossus.” The facility today employs more than 3,400 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648046\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11648046\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532-160x142.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532-240x213.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532-375x333.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532-520x461.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Our city is vulnerable to sea-level rise,” Richmond Mayor Tom Butt said. \u003ccite>(Julie Cart/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Leah Casey, the spokeswoman for Chevron’s Richmond refinery, said in a statement that lawsuits like the local ones “will do nothing to address the serious issue of climate change. Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions is a global issue that requires global engagement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butt said the city sued “out of frustration, because I know that these fossil fuel companies are aware of the long-term costs and damage of the widespread consumption of fossil fuel.” He said Richmond was already planning for the sea’s rise but had not yet calculated mitigation costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suits are filed in state court under California’s public nuisance law, which allows legal actions against activities that are “injurious to health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York City filed a similar claim against five of the world’s largest oil companies in federal court, asking that the cost of mitigating damage done by the companies as a result of their contribution to climate change be charged to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal challenges also assert that the oil industry has known for decades that burning fossil fuels accelerates climate change. The Richmond complaint states, “The industry has known for decades that business-as-usual combustion of their products could be ‘severe’ or even ‘catastrophic.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Companies were so certain of the threat that some even took steps to protect their own assets from rising seas and more extreme storms,” the complaint goes on, “and they developed new technologies to profit from drilling in a soon-to-be-ice-free Arctic. Yet instead of taking steps to reduce the threat to others, the industry actually increased production while spending billions on public relations, lobbying, and campaign contributions to hide the truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The slow unraveling of the decades-long industry cover-up of the medical harm from cigarettes turned the tide in the tobacco cases, according to Ann Carlson, an environmental law professor at the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the UCLA School of Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlson, who is advising some of the plaintiffs’ lawyers, said that courts will take into account the oil-industry-funded campaign to discredit climate science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That matters in California,” she said. “If you can show evidence that a defendant engaged in a campaign to obfuscate, it’s more than just a nice detail. Evidence helps.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With much at stake, oil companies are pushing back hard. ExxonMobil has responded with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4345487-Exxon-Texas-Petition-Jan-2018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demand\u003c/a> to depose lawyers representing the California cities and counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company says it is a victim of a conspiracy, and cities and counties are being disingenuous: When they issue municipal bonds, they portray risk from climate change as unpredictable, not the fault of oil firms, as the lawsuits claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The companies have also filed motions to move the cases to federal courts, where they believe there are precedents more favorable to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of legal claims intended to monetize the consequences of a warming planet is growing. Carlson said greater scientific certainty about attributing climate change impacts to specific industries and companies has created a legal opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The courts were uncomfortable that they couldn’t trace the harm,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is the epicenter of so-called climate-attribution science, said Peter Frumhoff, director of science and policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s really a quite robust ability to characterize the extent to which climate change impacts have worsened,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further, by collating data taken from oil companies’ annual accounting and national and international energy agencies’ reports, “one can then connect the dots and assign a cost. That tees up the question, ‘Who is responsible and who should pay?’ ” Frumhoff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is where the science is taking us, with increasing specificity and confidence,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Literally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employing the legal strategy that brought states major payouts from tobacco companies decades ago, the plaintiffs are demanding that oil interests begin writing checks to protect Californians against rising seas, crippling drought and harmful air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal viability of the lawsuits is unclear; the cases are in early stages. But if any succeed, the implications are profound: The state is already spending hundreds of millions of dollars to shore up coastlines, protect infrastructure and retrofit roads and bridges in response to rising seas. And if companies are persuaded to drill and refine less oil, California has a much better chance of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions on the schedule it has set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Richmond, plaintiffs include the cities of Imperial Beach, Oakland, Santa Cruz and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hbsslaw.com/uploads/case_downloads/climate_change/2017-09-19complaintforpublicnuisance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco,\u003c/a> and the counties of Marin, San Mateo and Santa Cruz.

Asked whether the state would join the cities and counties or consider filing its own suit against the oil companies, the Justice Department declined to comment about potential future action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city-county suits began six months ago when Imperial Beach, in southern San Diego County, sued a handful of oil companies. Richmond, surrounded on three sides by water and imperiled by rising seas, joined the fight Jan. 22. Its city council voted unanimously to \u003ca href=\"http://blogs2.law.columbia.edu/climate-change-litigation/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/case-documents/2018/20180122_docket-C18-00055_complaint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sue\u003c/a> 29 oil producers, even if it meant taking on Chevron, whose tax payments -- $45 million in 2016 -- account for 25 percent of the city’s general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are a pretty important corporate citizen,” Richmond Mayor Tom Butt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, “we are a waterfront city -- Richmond has 32 miles of shoreline on the bay. Part of our city is vulnerable to sea-level rise: our transportation systems, neighborhoods and commercial areas, and thousands of acres of waterfront park.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those vulnerable venues is Chevron’s refinery, which sits at the edge of San Francisco Bay. Completed in 1902, this refinery, the state’s largest, was immediately dubbed “the colossus.” The facility today employs more than 3,400 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648046\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11648046\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532-160x142.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532-240x213.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532-375x333.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/tomButtwater-600x532-520x461.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Our city is vulnerable to sea-level rise,” Richmond Mayor Tom Butt said. \u003ccite>(Julie Cart/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Leah Casey, the spokeswoman for Chevron’s Richmond refinery, said in a statement that lawsuits like the local ones “will do nothing to address the serious issue of climate change. Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions is a global issue that requires global engagement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butt said the city sued “out of frustration, because I know that these fossil fuel companies are aware of the long-term costs and damage of the widespread consumption of fossil fuel.” He said Richmond was already planning for the sea’s rise but had not yet calculated mitigation costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suits are filed in state court under California’s public nuisance law, which allows legal actions against activities that are “injurious to health.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York City filed a similar claim against five of the world’s largest oil companies in federal court, asking that the cost of mitigating damage done by the companies as a result of their contribution to climate change be charged to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal challenges also assert that the oil industry has known for decades that burning fossil fuels accelerates climate change. The Richmond complaint states, “The industry has known for decades that business-as-usual combustion of their products could be ‘severe’ or even ‘catastrophic.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Companies were so certain of the threat that some even took steps to protect their own assets from rising seas and more extreme storms,” the complaint goes on, “and they developed new technologies to profit from drilling in a soon-to-be-ice-free Arctic. Yet instead of taking steps to reduce the threat to others, the industry actually increased production while spending billions on public relations, lobbying, and campaign contributions to hide the truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The slow unraveling of the decades-long industry cover-up of the medical harm from cigarettes turned the tide in the tobacco cases, according to Ann Carlson, an environmental law professor at the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the UCLA School of Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlson, who is advising some of the plaintiffs’ lawyers, said that courts will take into account the oil-industry-funded campaign to discredit climate science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That matters in California,” she said. “If you can show evidence that a defendant engaged in a campaign to obfuscate, it’s more than just a nice detail. Evidence helps.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With much at stake, oil companies are pushing back hard. ExxonMobil has responded with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4345487-Exxon-Texas-Petition-Jan-2018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demand\u003c/a> to depose lawyers representing the California cities and counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company says it is a victim of a conspiracy, and cities and counties are being disingenuous: When they issue municipal bonds, they portray risk from climate change as unpredictable, not the fault of oil firms, as the lawsuits claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The companies have also filed motions to move the cases to federal courts, where they believe there are precedents more favorable to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of legal claims intended to monetize the consequences of a warming planet is growing. Carlson said greater scientific certainty about attributing climate change impacts to specific industries and companies has created a legal opening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The courts were uncomfortable that they couldn’t trace the harm,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is the epicenter of so-called climate-attribution science, said Peter Frumhoff, director of science and policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s really a quite robust ability to characterize the extent to which climate change impacts have worsened,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further, by collating data taken from oil companies’ annual accounting and national and international energy agencies’ reports, “one can then connect the dots and assign a cost. That tees up the question, ‘Who is responsible and who should pay?’ ” Frumhoff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The union representing thousands of Bay Area health care workers is launching a signature-gathering campaign this week in four Bay Area cities with the goal of qualifying ballot initiatives that would force Stanford Health Care facilities to lower costs or invest more money in care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West has filed ballot measures for the November election in Palo Alto, Pleasanton, Redwood City and Livermore, all home to Stanford Health Care facilities. The union said a fifth measure in Emeryville has been challenged by the city in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measures are being billed as a way to control the costs of hospital visits, which can result in patients being charged widely different amounts for the same type of procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What you actually pay for your care may be substantially lower or different,” said Gerald Kominski, director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ballot measures would create a formula that sets a baseline cost for each procedure. Stanford (or any other hospital in the cities) would have to refund patients for any cost more than 15 percent greater than the baseline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a bold measure on the part of the unions to basically force the hospitals to be more transparent about the relationship between their underlying actual costs and their billed prices,” Kominski added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a signature-gathering kickoff event in Palo Alto on Saturday, supporters of the measures said they want to make sure that Stanford is not simply hoarding its profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are workers who are saying, ‘Look, you’re making a huge amount of revenue. So where is that money going to help with patient care? Where is that money going for new technology? Are you reinvesting that?’ ” said San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa. “What they’re clearly saying is, ‘Stanford, you’re not doing that right now.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way the ballot measures are written, however, does not guarantee that patients will be paying less at the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key to the measures is the baseline cost, defined as the sum of “the reasonable cost of direct patient care” and improvements to health care technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the heart of the controversy is who determines what’s reasonable,” said Kristof Stremikis, director of market analysis and insight with the California Health Care Foundation. “What goes into that calculation?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiatives would require the cities to implement and enforce the law on their local hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford Health Care declined a request for an interview, but said in a statement, “Local initiatives such as these would impose substantial and burdensome administrative and related costs for the cities affected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the ballot language, an investment in staff wages or training would drive up the “reasonable cost” baseline, thus allowing a hospital to raise prices on the consumer without reaching the 15 percent threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the measure say that they’d be pleased with either reduced costs or more investment in workers and technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel as a hospital worker, I’m also an advocate for the patients that we take care of. By bringing the costs down for the patients, we’re advocating for them,” said Linda Cornell, a union member and secretary at Stanford Hospital. “Also, trying to get the hospital to maybe hire more folks so that we do an adequate job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cornell said a lack of staffing is at the heart of the \u003ca href=\"https://paloaltoonline.com/news/2017/07/11/union-claims-high-infection-rates-in-stanford-hospital-dispute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high infection rates\u003c/a> that union members say still exist at Stanford Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SEIU-UHW officials are confident that the measures will qualify for local ballots in the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains to be seen whether the union will push the initiatives all the way to Election Day. The SEIU has been criticized in the past for using the initiative process as a negotiating tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, a similar measure qualified for the statewide ballot, only to be \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2014/05/06/seiu-teams-up-with-california-hospitals-drops-ballot-initiatives/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">removed\u003c/a> when the union and the California Hospital Association reached an agreement.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The union said a fifth measure in Emeryville has been challenged by the city in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measures are being billed as a way to control the costs of hospital visits, which can result in patients being charged widely different amounts for the same type of procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What you actually pay for your care may be substantially lower or different,” said Gerald Kominski, director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ballot measures would create a formula that sets a baseline cost for each procedure. Stanford (or any other hospital in the cities) would have to refund patients for any cost more than 15 percent greater than the baseline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So where is that money going to help with patient care? Where is that money going for new technology? Are you reinvesting that?’ ” said San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa. “What they’re clearly saying is, ‘Stanford, you’re not doing that right now.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way the ballot measures are written, however, does not guarantee that patients will be paying less at the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key to the measures is the baseline cost, defined as the sum of “the reasonable cost of direct patient care” and improvements to health care technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the heart of the controversy is who determines what’s reasonable,” said Kristof Stremikis, director of market analysis and insight with the California Health Care Foundation. “What goes into that calculation?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiatives would require the cities to implement and enforce the law on their local hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford Health Care declined a request for an interview, but said in a statement, “Local initiatives such as these would impose substantial and burdensome administrative and related costs for the cities affected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the ballot language, an investment in staff wages or training would drive up the “reasonable cost” baseline, thus allowing a hospital to raise prices on the consumer without reaching the 15 percent threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the measure say that they’d be pleased with either reduced costs or more investment in workers and technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel as a hospital worker, I’m also an advocate for the patients that we take care of. By bringing the costs down for the patients, we’re advocating for them,” said Linda Cornell, a union member and secretary at Stanford Hospital. “Also, trying to get the hospital to maybe hire more folks so that we do an adequate job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cornell said a lack of staffing is at the heart of the \u003ca href=\"https://paloaltoonline.com/news/2017/07/11/union-claims-high-infection-rates-in-stanford-hospital-dispute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high infection rates\u003c/a> that union members say still exist at Stanford Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SEIU-UHW officials are confident that the measures will qualify for local ballots in the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It remains to be seen whether the union will push the initiatives all the way to Election Day. The SEIU has been criticized in the past for using the initiative process as a negotiating tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, a similar measure qualified for the statewide ballot, only to be \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/2014/05/06/seiu-teams-up-with-california-hospitals-drops-ballot-initiatives/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">removed\u003c/a> when the union and the California Hospital Association reached an agreement.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
