Now the clinics are too.\n\nThe California Primary Care Association, which represents more than 2,300 community health clinics, and Open Door Community Health Centers filed a lawsuit Thursday to stop Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West from placing an initiative on the November ballot that would dictate how clinics spend money.\n\nThe clinic measure is less prominent than the billionaire-backed fight against a wealth tax, but recently came closer to appearing before voters.\n\nThe clinic’s lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, argues that the union’s ballot measure would interfere with federal laws and regulations that place strict spending requirements on nonprofit health clinics that serve low-income patients.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
