Columnists: Proposition 45 Supporters Take Aim at Dignity Health’s Spending
Supporters of Proposition 45, which would give the state insurance commissioner regulatory authority over insurance rate hikes, are criticizing the spending habits of San Francisco-based Dignity Health, according to San Francisco Chronicle columnists. They note that the not-for-profit hospital system is the San Francisco 49ers' exclusive health industry partner, pays for advertising around the stadium and on game broadcasts and has purchased a luxury suite at Levi Stadium, which costs at least $2.5 million.
