English Social Sciences Government / Politics voting systems, referendums
A “Yes” vote approves, and a “No” vote rejects legislation that:
• Provides for individual and dependent health care coverage for employees, as specified, working for large and medium employers;
• Requires that employers pay at least 80% of coverage cost; maximum 20% employee contribution;
• Requires employers to pay for health coverage or pay fee to medical insurance board that purchases primarily private health coverage;

and so on...

It's deceptively innocuous...but can't seem to get to its kernel...suggestions? A paraphrase would be best. Is this an 'easy' question?

Danke!

Please see suggestion below

A “Yes” vote approves and a “No” vote rejects the legislation that:

a) Provides for individual and dependent health care coverage for specified employees, working for large and medium employers,
b) Requires that the employers pay at least 80% of the coverage cost, subject to a maximum of 20% of the employee contribution and
c) Requires that the employers pay for health care coverage or pay a fee to the medical insurance board that primarily purchases private health coverage.

Hope this helps :-))
Peer comment(s):

agree Armorel Young : Ramesh is quite write that as written (which may of course not be correct), "as specified" refers to employees rather than to health care

You could well be right there! The 'as specified' CAN refer to specific health care schemes. Similarly, I was not sure if 'primarily' could have meant 'primary health'. I left these to the wisdom of the Asker. Thanks anyway:-))
agree Deborah Workman : Yes. On format, if you're starting each item with an initial cap, finish each with a period and drop the "and" in the penultimate. Or, start lower case, separate with commas or semis, and insert comma/semi before and.

Thank you for your observation. The coma and the 'and' in the penultimate are meant to mean ''a, b and c".

as described earlier

It sounds like somewhere earlier in the document, they talked about health care coverage plans for employees. Now they are referring to what they already talked about, by saying "as specified."
