Shall the City authorize the Health Service Board to establish health plans for City residents?

Summary:
THE WAY IT IS NOW: The City offers medical and dental benefits to employees, retirees and their dependents of the City and County of San Francisco, Community College District and Unified School District. The Health Service Board selects the medical and dental plans available to employees and retirees.

THE PROPOSAL: Proposition G is a Charter amendment that would authorize the Health Service Board, by a two-thirds vote of its members, to establish medical and dental plans for City residents, in addition to the other plans currently available to City employees and retirees. The Board of Supervisors would have to approve these plans by a three-fourths vote. This measure does not require the City to pay any portion of the cost of these plans. If the City were to pay any portion of the cost of these plans, the City would have to provide money in its annual budget for this purpose.

Meaning of Voting Yes/No
A YES vote of this measure means:
If you vote "yes," you want to authorize the Health Service Board to establish health plans for City residents.

A NO vote of this measure means:
If you vote "no," you do not want to authorize the Health Service Board to establish health plans for City residents.
