SAN FRANCISCO, 11 de septiembre de 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Alcohol Justice informa hoy que los promotores de la salud y seguridad públicas están expresando su respaldo y admiración para la asambleísta Susan Bonilla (D-Concord), quien ha introducido ABX2-18 – "Cocktails for Healthy Outcomes Act" (Ley Cócteles para Resultados Saludables). El proyecto de ley impondría una sobretasa dedicada de 5 centavos sobre solamente "bebidas on-sale que contienen licores destilados". La iniciativa fue aprobada a principios de la semana por el Comité de Salud Pública y Servicios de Desarrollo por una votación fuerte de 9 a 4. Será conocido hoy viernes por convocación del presidente de la Segunda Sesión Extraordinaria del Comité de Finanzas.

"Apoyamos ABX2-18  porque California pierde más de 10,000 vidas todos los años por causas relacionadas con el alcohol mientras que el público sufre más de $31.8 mil millones en costos anuales por daños relacionados con el alcohol, de los cuales la carga del gobierno es de $13.7 mil millones", sostuvo Bruce Lee Livingston, director ejecutivo y CEO de Alcohol Justice. "Esperamos que la nueva voluntad expresada en este proyecto de ley para aumentar el costo del alcohol a través de nuevos impuestos continúe durante el próximo ciclo legislativo. Es el deseo de Alcohol Justice de que un aumento de impuestos se extienda a todas las bebidas alcohólicas a fin de compensar a la sociedad por los costos del uso indebido del alcohol y reducir marginalmente el problema del alcoholismo".

Hasta esta mañana, las siguientes organizaciones e individuos han constatado su apoyo para la iniciativa:

  • Alcohol Justice
  • The Arc of California
  • Association of Regional Center Agencies
  • California Medical Association
  • California Respite Association
  • California Society of Anesthesiologists
  • California Supported Living Network
  • Disability Rights California
  • East Bay Developmental Disabilities Legislative Coalition
  • Epilepsy California
  • Futures Explored, Inc.
  • John Gioia, Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Contra Costa
  • Los Angeles Drug & Alcohol Policy Alliance (LADAPA)
  • Lutheran Office of Public Policy
  • National Down Syndrome Society
  • North Los Angeles County Regional Center
  • On My Own Independent Living Services
  • Regional Center of the East Bay
  • Rehabilitation Services of Northern California
  • Strategies to Empower People
  • TASH
  • United Cerebral Palsy California

"Como era de prever, los grupos de fachada de las grandes compañías de alcohol como Wine Institute, el Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, Beer Institute, y la California Restaurant Association se opusieron a la propuesta de ley", dijo Michael Scippa, director de relaciones públicas de Alcohol Justice. "Quisieran continuar lucrándose a costa de la salud y seguridad públicas. La última vez que el estado aumentó cualquier impuesto al alcohol fue 1992, cuando subió un centavo. Ojalá que ABX2-18 esté señalando que el cambio radical ya se avecina".

Aumentar el costo de productos de tabaco se ha aceptado como una política efectiva y apropiada para ayudar a pagar las facturas de Medicare y Medicaid de enfermedades relacionadas con el tabaco y reducir el uso del tabaco. Este supuesto es tan o más relevante a los productos del alcohol. Aunque a primera vista el tabaco mata a más personas todos los años, los daños del alcohol cuestan el doble de los del tabaco. California no solo carga con miles de millones de dólares en daños relacionados con el alcohol, sino que también, por si fuera poco, las grandes compañías de alcohol no pagan ninguna tarifa a nivel estatal para mitigar o contrarrestar el costo exorbitante de sus productos, impuesto en todos los californianos.
