According to Democrat Bill Monning, his state of California will try to implement some aspects of health insurance reform before the federal government does.
What steps are they planning to take before 2014?
- Allowing young adults under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ health insurance plan
- Forbidding a health insurance plan from refusing to cover people with pre-existing conditions
- More stringent state regulation of health insurance premiums
There are no guarantees; they are up against Republicans in the state legislature who are opposed to the legislation, as well as a governor who is threatening to cut public programs in order to reduce the budget deficit.
