Update on SF universal healthcare plan

Here is a link to a San Francisco Sentinel article that updates the status of the universal healthcare plan being proposed there and gives some more details as to how it would work:

Newsom and Ammiano unite on San Francisco universal health care

It doesn't state who will administer the healthcare coverages provided by the plan(s), but it's a pretty easy guess that it will be private insurance companies. The range of possible worker copays is huge ($3 to $201 monthly), which seems pretty steep on the high end. Maybe we should start emphasizing the point with these public officials that we need "affordable comprehensive" universal healthcare. They seem to be more concerned about arranging it so that everyone has health insurance, no matter how expensive or how bad the actual coverage is.
