The insurance commissioner monitors car and home insurance premium rates to ensure the increases are justified and the consumers aren’t getting ripped off by the insurance companies. So why not health insurance, that has been on a perpetual rate increase of 10% a year just because the fat health insurance companies say so? So Prop 45 is not damaging the health system. It is more protection for the consumer. I didn’t know that you were a friend of the Wall Street crooks.

As far as raising malpractice award maximums against doctors……there will be fewer and fewer doctors seeing the chronically ill, treating high risk pregnancies, working in emergency rooms providing trauma care, accepting Medicaid, ACA and possibly Medicare due to paltry government payments for services.

This State has gone mad- Self inflicted insanity.
