Full Text of Proposition

What does it do? $750 million bond issue to provide grants to children's hospitals to provide funds for construction, renovation, and equipping of hospitals.

How I plan to vote: Yes

Why? Treating sick kids and doing research on childhood diseases is good. Also, the opponents of the measure in the voter pamphlet offer the dorky argument that the measure is pointless because the only thing that will really fix health care in California is a single-payer health care system. (Can you tell that I'm generally unsympathetic to the argument that we should reject genuine improvements because "they don't go far enough"?)

Also, children's hospitals buy mass spectrometers. (I'm kidding. Really.)
