"Hispanic leaders and business owners care about our consumers," continued Canete.  "This initiative will give consumers control and will create more competition, lower prices and insure more Californians.  We encourage people to read it."

There have been significant improvements to make the initiative more inclusive for those who are presently insured and to reach out to those who do not have insurance.

• Military personnel receive the discount.
• Individuals who have lost their job for a period of up to 18 months also qualify for the discount; as do those who lapse coverage for 90 days for any reason.
• Children living with their parent(s) will receive the same discount available to their parent(s).
• Consumers will get a discount for each year they were insured in the previous five years.  For example, if you had four years of insurance you will get 80 percent of the discount.  Unlike the present system, more people are protected.
