California’s Proposition 34, on the ballot in November, is about a number of things. It’s a clash that involves a couple of high-profile, heavily funded interest groups that have a long history and a bitter backstory, and it features a quixotic but pugnacious battler who has accumulated both foes and lawsuits through the decades.
What it isn’t about is health care. Which is odd, because Prop. 34, as written, looks and sounds like nothing so much as a health care issue.
