Seven Reasons Why Employees Should Vote No on Proposition 72
Proposition 72 creates a state government run healthcare system funded by $7 billion per year in new taxes on workers and employers, damaging our economy.
- Workers are forced to take the coverage mandated by Proposition 72 even if they don't want it or can't afford their share of the costs.
- Employees would pay an estimated $1.7 billion per year out of their paychecks for this insurance.
- The Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation estimates Proposition 72 could cost workers with family coverage $1700 per year.
- The high costs of Proposition 72 means employers that already provide insurance may have to make workers pay MORE for their coverage through higher deductibles. This could cost workers thousands of dollars more out of pocket before the insurance kicks in.
- High costs may also force people with private coverage into the state government run health insurance program.
- People on the state insurance program could lose access to their existing doctors, hospitals and medical providers, because they could be required to use providers selected by a government board.
- Proposition 72 puts politicians and government bureaucrats in charge of our healthcare. Do you want government bureaucrats making critical healthcare decisions for you and your family?!
We all want to find ways to help cover the uninsured, but Proposition 72 isn't the answer. Real healthcare reform should control costs. Prop. 72 does nothing to control healthcare costs.
Please join educators, local government officials, non-profit groups, physicians and small businesses in opposing Proposition 72.
