SB1431 - The California Bill to Slow or Stop Small Groups from Self Funding

It has been pointed out to me several times in the past month just how inept our California State Legislature is.  Recently Lisa Boyajian went to Sacramento and was appalled by what she witnessed.  State Senators were acting in the most inappropriate manner; ignoring other Senators, ignoring proceedings and being plain rude. Well apparently Lisa is not alone.  On a separate trip Dorothy Cociu attended hearings on SB1431 (a stop-loss bill aimed at small groups that self-insure).  The people testifying in opposition to this bill were completely ignored by the bill's authors and proponents.  Our legislature should be ashamed of themselves.  When you are sitting in on hearings, you should be listening to all sides.  But to blatantly ignore and be disrespectful is not statesmanlike in any form.  We have to live with all the laws they pass, not just on health insurance, but all laws.  They should take the time to at least be completely informed on what they will be voting on. Shame.

If you would like to find out more about this topic or any other topic relating to health and life insurance please feel free to call Lisa at (888)800-5855.  Or you can check us out on our at www.ansainsuranceservices.com .
