Newsom’s approval of the new minimum wage for medical workers follows his signature on a separate law mandating a new pay floor for fast-food workers. Starting next April, Health care employers got behind the plan to raise the minimum wage for their industry, and unions agreed to a 10-year moratorium on sponsoring local ballot measures to force pay raises at hospitals and other medical facilities.
Eneryk Santana is one of those employees. He works as a medical assistant at a clinic in Chula Vista but lives in Tijuana. He makes an early morning cross-border commute everyday. Sometimes he sits in hours-long traffic. It’s exhausting, but Santana says many colleagues do the same as a way to avoid expensive housing costs on the California side of the border. . He expects he’d be eligible for another corresponding increase when the minimum wage for all health workers goes up.
Hospitals with a high mix of Medi-Cal and Medicare patients, as well as rural independent hospitals would have to pay workers $18 an hour in 2024. That rate would increase 3.5% annually until it reaches $25 in 2033.
