Rendon probably did those of us who believe health care is a human right a favor. The insurance industry bought off Governor Brown who would veto the legislation.
California decided 140 years ago that public education is a human right, supported by the community, and free at the school house door. We’re crossing the same bridge with health insurance. SB 562 is a two year bill and will become a campaign issue in the 2018 election. We still have time to get it right and become self-insured as a state providing every California the right to see any physician taking new patients and be admitted to any medical facility our doctors recommend knowing our bills are covered and we’ll never be asked to remain paupers for MediCal or limit our income for ACA subsidies that has become an accounting nightmare for the small business and gig economy.
