Who Are Your Legislators Working For?

The California State Legislature just refused to give its own Insurance Department the authority to control health insurance rate increases.

The bill (AB2578) which passed the Assembly, would have required HMO’s and health insurance carriers to proposed rate increases OK’d by either the California Department of Insurance or the Department of Managed Health Care.

The trough is getting filled in Sacramento

Who do are legislators work for? What are the odds that the legislators that received the most campaign contributions from the insurance industry voted against the legislation?

Can You Handle The Truth???

I learned of an objective, fact-oriented website this week that separates fact-from-fiction in the health care debate. The website’s address is:
www.factcheck.org.

This site doesn’t appear to be leaning in any political direction. Just the truth, whether it favors conservatives or liberals, pro or anti-reformists, etc.

The site sets straight, many of the lies that both sides of the health reform debate are spreading. I highly recommend it for those who can handle the truth.

Response to President Obama's Speech

I would’ve liked to hear more specifics, but at least Mr. Obama offered more clarity to what he wants a bill to include. His ideas sound are very similar to what Senator Max Baucus of the Senate Finance Committee has proposed. Obama also included some ideas proposed by some Republicans, most notably, Senator John McCain.

Bill O’Reilly of Fox News criticized some parts of Obama’s plan. O’Reilly railed against (government) bureaucrats deciding what tests/treatments insurers must cover.

Mr. O’Reilly, the state of California has required many procedures/treatments to be covered for years. This is nothing new.
