California Lawmakers Grant Unusual Secrecy for Contracts Related to Health Exchange

Apparently lawmakers in California think it is okay to grant blanket privacy rules on contracts that relate to activities within the California Health Exchange (Covered California).  According to the AP in an article from the Washington Post, May 9, 2013 California lawmakers are alone in the nation with the amount of privacy granted to outside firms awarded contracts within California.  No other state has built in to it's laws such widespread secrecy rules.  The law is completely supported by the Assembly Speaker, John Perez and opposed by State Senator Sam Aanestad.  To read the full article click the link below, it is eye opening!

Is it wise to impose such secrecy at a time when many feel that the health care law is already overreaching?  If you have an opinion on this please contact your state representatives.  If you would like to get more information on health insurance in general or how the law will affect you personally please contact us at info@ansainsuranceservices.com or call us at 714-680-5900.
