Sen Feinstein has come out with a new bill that would allow HHS to stop rate increases from big insurance companies. It would also allow for a ratings system of insurers and other consumer friendly protections.I think this is an excellent bill- finally giving the government the power to tell Blue Cross and the others NO when they jack up rates 50 plus pct.
Sen Feinstein is also pushing the public option in the final HCR bill. CA is being hit hard like so many by these massive increases in rates with no real substantion at all. We need to remove the trust protections and start making these companies accountable. Good on DiFi for pushing this legislation. Will it pass? It seems like it could- its a perfect populist feeling bill that could work.
