Arizona Illustrated Goes Through the Propositions with Jim Nintzel

1. If they get in a car accident, it is covered by their medical liability covered in their car insurance policy. Nice one Nintzel 😉

2. Yeah, if they have car insurance…

   Anyway, the underlying point is the same: Hospitals do have to deal with uninsured people who can’t pay their bills–and as a result, they have to charge everyone else more in order to stay in business.

   Another point: If you’re going to say that insurance companies can’t turn down people with pre-existing conditions, then it’s a pretty bad deal for them, market-wise, to say that people don’t have to buy health insurance until they get sick.

3. Jim, no position on 113? Really should be a no. Secret ballot election sounds like a wonderful thing; the problem is that the rules governing secret ballot elections make it virtually impossible for workers to ever vote in a union. So we either need card check, or a complete overhaul of the National Labor Relations Act. But requiring secret ballots without change in the NLRA is one giant giveaway to employers.

   Plus, because this change once again entangles the state in federal preemption issues. If it passes, we’re guaranteed to be fighting about it in court for years….with taxpayers footing the bill for the lawyers.

4. Thanks for breaking down the props and letting each of us decide. You handled this task effortlessly and without bias. Good show!
