California Prop 46 and Pack Act 2014 Vote

Bob Pack's children, Troy and Alana, were killed in an accident caused by a drug addict who had been recklessly prescribed thousands of narcotic painkillers. The doctors responsible were never held accountable. That's why Bob Pack is sponsoring a ballot measure to crack down on prescription drug abuse by patients and doctors, and hold doctors accountable for medical negligence.

One of the major arguments against California Prop 46 or the Pack Act is the cost that will be incurred by hospitals, businesses and taxpayers. To clear the air, it is important to note that community clinics will not be affected by Prop 46.
