California billboards denounce hospital mergers

Billboards along California roadways are calling for more oversight of healthcare mergers, the Public News Service reported March 14.

The campaign — titled “Protect California Patients” — was created by a coalition of more than 30 organizations, including the California Physicians’ Alliance, California Public Interest Research Group and California Labor Federation. These organizations support Assembly Bill 1091, which would give the state attorney general more oversight on mergers worth more than $15 million. 

The billboards contain messages like, “You are in the most expensive city in the entire country to give birth. Surprised? Demand better,” and share a link to Protect California Patients’ website. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
