Proposition 72, also known as SB2 (The Health Insurance Act of 2003), will protect and expand employer-based health coverage for working Californians. Prop 72 will require medium to large size employers to provide medical health insurance benefits to their employees or contribute to a statewide purchasing pool to provide health coverage to working Californians and their families. Prop 72 will extend health insurance benefits to 20% of the uninsured population, an estimated 1.1 million working Californians.

Proposition 63, commonly called the Mental Health Services Act, will expand mental health care programs in California. This measure provides services to persons currently challenged by mental health problems, persons showing signs of mental health problems in need of prevention services, and to families and caregivers of those affected. To fund this expansion of services, this proposition establishes a state personal income tax surcharge of 1 percent on taxpayers with annual taxable incomes of more than $1 million. Funds resulting from the surcharge would be used to expand county mental health programs. Click here for more information!
