You are right. I’ve just deleted the phrase “and reduce the estimated cost-effectiveness” from the article.
Also note that while I did exclude the costs of ballot initiatives in the main estimation, I did include their costs but not impact in a pessimistic estimation in Appendix 1. That’s because including the impact of ballot initiatives would have obscured the point I wanted to make in that appendix.
