What are the arguments for and against?
13:38
Yeah, well, Service Employees International Union, United Healthcare Workers, put this on the ballot.
13:44
It's a two-part argument.
13:45
First of all, California is home to a lot of super wealthy people who have the capacity to help finance social programs.
13:53
And in this case, the overwhelming share of the revenues would go to healthcare programs in the state to fund those.
14:00
And I guess the second part of the argument is that As a result of some cutbacks in federal spending on healthcare, the state will feel a pinch in that area.
14:10
And so this would be a nice opportunity to sort of do a one-time tax on super wealthy people to help shore up funding for healthcare.
15:22
So if those are passed, would that then actually negate Prop 40? What would happen? If all three passed.
