    Californians are being overcharged for health

    insurance. Prop. 45 will stop the price gouging by requiring health insurance companies to be transparent and publicly justify rates before premiums can increase. The same regulation of auto insurance has saved drivers billions. Sponsors: Consumer Watchdog, California Nurses Association. Opponents: health insurance companies.

    Prop. 45 is a power grab by special interests

    to take control over health care benefits and rates from Californias successful new independent commissionand give it to one Sacramento politician instead. Higher costs, more bureaucracy. Political interference with treatment options. Exempts big corporations. Nurses, doctors, consumers say vote No!

    46 saves lives. It prevents substance abuse by

    doctors and patients and holds negligent doctors accountable. Estimates show 18% of health professionals have an abuse problem in their lifetimes. Medical negligence is this countrys third largest cause of death. Prescription drug overdoses are epidemic. A cure is overdue. Vote Yes.

    Trial lawyers wrote Prop. 46 to make

    millions from medical malpractice lawsuits. We will pay, and could lose our trusted doctorsas many doctors and specialists are forced to leave California, moving to states with more affordable medical-liability insurance. Protect your wallet and access to healthcare. No on 46.

    A NO vote on this measure means: The

    cap on medical malpractice damages for such things as pain and suffering would remain at $250,000 and not be subject to annual inflation adjustments. Health care providers would not be required to check a statewide prescription database before prescribing or dispensing drugs. Hospitals would not be required to test physicians for alcohol and drugs.

    A YES vote on this measure means: Rates

    for individual and small group health insurance would need to be approved by the Insurance Commissioner before taking effect.

    A NO vote on this measure means: State

    regulators would continue to have the authority to review, but not approve, rates for individual and small group health insurance.

    A YES vote on this measure means: The

    cap on medical malpractice damages for such things as pain and suffering would be increased from $250,000 to $1.1 million and adjusted annually for future inflation. Health care providers would be required to check a statewide prescription drug database before prescribing or dispensing certain drugs to a patient for the first time. Hospitals would be required to test certain physicians for alcohol and drugs.

    Requires drug testing of doctors. Requires review of statewide prescription database before prescribing controlled substances. Increases $250,000 pain/suffering cap in medical negligence lawsuits for inflation. Fiscal Impact: State and local government costs from raising the cap on medical malpractice damages ranging from tens of millions to several hundred million dollars annually, offset to some extent by savings from requirements on health care providers.

    Requires Insurance Commissioners approval before health insurer can change its rates or anything else affecting the charges associated with health insurance. Provides for public notice, disclosure, and hearing, and subsequent judicial review. Exempts employer large group health plans. Fiscal Impact: Increased state administrative costs to regulate health insurance, likely not exceeding the low millions of dollars annually in most years, funded from fees paid by health insurance companies.

    TOWARDS LASTING HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

    Sustainable development is acommitment to improving thequality of human life while livingwithin the carrying capacity of supportingecosystems (IUCN et al., 1991).

    Countries progress towards sustainabledevelopment can be assessed using theUnited Nations Development Programmes(UNDP) Human Development Index (HDI)as an indicator of well-being, and theFootprint as a measure of demand on thebiosphere. The HDI is calculated from lifeexpectancy, literacy and education, and perperson Gross Domestic Product. UNDPconsiders an HDI value of more than 0.8to be high human development. AnEcological Footprint lower than 1.8 globalhectares per person, the average biocapacityavailable per person on the planet, would bereplicable at the global level.

    Successful sustainable developmentrequires that the world, on average, meets,at a minimum these two criteria, withcountries moving into the blue quadrantshown in Figure 8. As world populationgrows, less bioproductive area is availableper person and the quadrants height shrinks.

    In 2003, Asia-Pacific and Africa wereusing less than world average per personbiocapacity, while the EU and North Americahad crossed the threshold for high humandevelopment. No region, nor the world as awhole, met both criteria for sustainabledevelopment. Cuba alone did, based on thedata it reports to the United Nations.

    Changes in footprint and HDI between 1975and 2003 for some nations are illustrated onpages 11-13. During this period, wealthynations such as the United States of America

    significantly increased their resource usewhile increasing their quality of life. Thisdid not hold for poorer nations, notablyChina or India, where significant increasesin HDI were achieved while their per personEcological Footprints remained below globalper person biocapacity.

    Comparing a countrys average EcologicalFootprint per person with global averagebiocapacity does not presuppose equalsharing of resources. Rather it indicateswhich nations consumption patterns, ifextended worldwide, would continueglobal overshoot, and which would not.The Ecological Footprint and the HDIneed supplementing by other ecologicaland socio-economic measures freshwaterscarcity and civic engagement, forexample to more fully definesustainable development.

    TOWARDS LASTING HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

    Sustainable development is acommitment to improving thequality of human life while livingwithin the carrying capacity of supportingecosystems (IUCN et al., 1991).

    Countries progress towards sustainabledevelopment can be assessed using theUnited Nations Development Programmes(UNDP) Human Development Index (HDI)as an indicator of well-being, and theFootprint as a measure of demand on thebiosphere. The HDI is calculated from lifeexpectancy, literacy and education, and perperson Gross Domestic Product. UNDPconsiders an HDI value of more than 0.8to be high human development. AnEcological Footprint lower than 1.8 globalhectares per person, the average biocapacityavailable per person on the planet, would bereplicable at the global level.

    Successful sustainable developmentrequires that the world, on average, meets,at a minimum these two criteria, withcountries moving into the blue quadrantshown in Figure 8. As world populationgrows, less bioproductive area is availableper person and the quadrants height shrinks.

    In 2003, Asia-Pacific and Africa wereusing less than world average per personbiocapacity, while the EU and North Americahad crossed the threshold for high humandevelopment. No region, nor the world as awhole, met both criteria for sustainabledevelopment. Cuba alone did, based on thedata it reports to the United Nations.

    Changes in footprint and HDI between 1975and 2003 for some nations are illustrated onpages 11-13. During this period, wealthynations such as the United States of America

    significantly increased their resource usewhile increasing their quality of life. Thisdid not hold for poorer nations, notablyChina or India, where significant increasesin HDI were achieved while their per personEcological Footprints remained below globalper person biocapacity.
