Livermore Measure U Threatens Access to Care September 12, 2018 General Legislation Measure U seeks to limit the amount that a physician, hospital, clinic, or other health care providers can charge for patient care to 115% of the cost of treatment. The initiative uses a definition of �cost� that excludes all managerial functions that are not directly related to providing patient care. The measure will also add an extra layer of regulations that forces the City of Livermore to administer this new regulation, costing taxpayers money and may potentially put other public services at risk. The ACCMA has joined local health care providers to form the Protect Livermore No On U coalition to ensure that Livermore physicians can remain in practice and to preserve patient access to care.
