This report underscores the failure of the Los Angeles Living Wage Ordinance to increase healthcare benefits for LAX workers, and outlines how the lack of insurance has impacted workers' families. It recommends that the city invest to increase the health care differential of the living wage for airport workers, index the differential for inflation, and study the impact of a differential increase for non airport workers covered by the living wage ordinance.
