Supporters of the ballot question, which could appear on the November ballot, say it would help solve the disparity of the state’s pricing system, which they argue provides excessive payments to a select few academic medical centers while restricting wages and increasing costs among community hospitals.

Lynn Nicholas, president and CEO of the Massachusetts Hospital Association, is listed as the committee’s chairman.
