Covering everyone never made sense. Healthcare in the Universal
sense, can never be attached to one's state of employment because as
soon as one is unemployed or sick or whatever they lose it. I
believe in universal coverage but we never had that. We had a really
bad tiered plan that even with a buy-up still sucked. The plan we
have now is much better and those who don't qualify through their
hours can buy-in at a very low rate comparative to cost of treatment.

I was present at the count and there were only a few votes that
could not be counted and I don't think it was from the capitola
meeting. The voting margin was so wide that those few votes would
not have changed anything.

Your argument that the initial mailing was a more accurate
representation is not valid because the differences in the health
options were not easily understood from the mailing.

Workers had three opportunities to get to a polling place. People
who worked stunning amounts of hours found a way to be there. Those
motivated voted.
