A legislative agreement has replaced Uber’s proposed ballot initiative, narrowing its scope to rideshare cases and preserving lawmakers’ ability to make future changes.
While reimbursement concerns remain, the outcome is a significant shift from the original proposal as the PPC PAC continues advocating for providers and patient access ahead of the 2027 legislative session.
From the PPC PAC
Formed immediately after Uber filed its initiative, Provider for Patient Care’s mission is to protect healthcare providers and the patients they serve by ensuring continued access to care, safeguarding provider rights, and opposing any legislation or ballot measure that threatens California’s medical community.
The PPC PAC continues to make meaningful gains in fundraising, coalition building, and strategic planning to ensure providers have a seat at the decision-making table.
Since launching the campaign in October 2025, the PPC PAC has raised $5.8 million, mobilizing hundreds of healthcare providers and professional organizations statewide to protect access to care. This initiative would severely restrict reimbursement for uninsured and underinsured accident victims, threatening chiropractic and medical providers’ ability to treat personal injury patients across California.
The campaign is entering its next phase, with new polling data shaping updated messaging and outreach strategies to counter Uber’s initiative. It is also drawing increased scrutiny, as industry spending and its potential impact on patient access continue to gain attention.

Help educate the broader medical community:
- Read the one-pager to better understand what’s at stake for your patients and your practice.
- Forward it to colleagues, staff, and other providers in your networks.
- Share it with your professional associations, boards, and leadership as they consider taking an official “oppose” position.
- Circulate it in listservs, group chats, and closed social media groups where providers exchange information.
The more providers who understand the real-world consequences of this initiative, the stronger the collective response will be.
Call to Action
Medical Providers, staff and patients, please stand together:

- Contribute to the PPC PAC campaign, then call two other providers and encourage them to contribute!
