California's health care industry mostly united behind Proposition 35, which would bolster Medi-Cal by dedicating money for it from a tax on health insurance plans.

California voters are projected by The Associated Press to approve a measure that would create a permanent tax on health insurance providers in the state.

California voters on Tuesday approved Proposition 35, the measure that cements an existing tax on health plans to help fund the Medi-Cal program, as election results continued to be tallied Wednesday.
