– New Statewide Poll / Budget 2026

Californians DEMAND corporations to pay their fair share PROTECT MEDI-CAL FROM FEDERAL CUTS.

By a 4-to-1 margin, voters support requiring large, profitable corporations to help cover the cost of the Medi-Cal their own workers are forced to turn to because of the poverty wages they are paid. The California Senate already put it in their budget plan. California MUST act to protect our healthcare.
Require large corporations whose low-wage workers rely on Medi-Cal to chip in — while mom-and-pop businesses are exempt
VOTERS SUPPORT THIS EVERYWHERE
There is no region of california where this loses.

Majority support for the “Fair Share Contribution” holds in every part of the state — from deep-blue coastal counties to the Central Valley. For legislators considering this proposal, the political math is the same in every district.

WHAT's AT STAKE

THE DEEPEST MEDICAID CUTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY JUST LANDED ON CALIFORNIA.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” (H.R. 1) handed corporations nearly $1 TRILLION in tax cuts — paid for by stripping health coverage from working families. The cost is already hitting home.

The California Senate’s budget includes a FAIR SHARE CONTRIBUTION — holding profitable corporations accountable for the health care their own low-wage workers depend on because they are paid poverty wages. Voters back it 4-to-1. Now it’s up to State Leaders to keep it in the final budget.

The Senate acted. CALIFORNIA LEADERS MUST FOLLOW.

Advance the Fair Share Contribution in the final 2026 budget. With 76% of votersbehind it in every region and across party lines, this is the rare policy with overwhelming public backing and a clear way to protect Medi-Cal. Add your name and tell your legislator where you stand.
