In enacting this chapter, the purpose and intent of the people of the State of California is to do all of the following:
(a) Increase access to quality health care by establishing a permanent, dedicated funding stream to be used for increasing reimbursement rates and other supports to health care providers that treat Medi-Cal patients and investments in building an adequate health care workforce, bed capacity, and treatment options.
(b) Increase access to affordable prescription drugs by establishing a permanent, dedicated funding stream to be used to produce and distribute generic prescription drugs through the California Affordable Drug Manufacturing Act of 2020.
(c) Prevent the revenue stream permanently continued by this chapter from ever being used to fund unauthorized or unrelated programs or from being used to supplant or replace existing sources of moneys that currently fund health care access and affordable prescription drug programs in this state.
(d) Continue a dedicated funding stream that is fully permitted by federal law, while also ensuring that taxpayers and employers do not bear the financial burden for the implementation of this chapter.
