New bill may fix California's health insurance

While leaders in California have been working toward proving health insurance coverage to more Californians, the current system has had major flaws. HMOs and insurance companies have been canceling policies when people get sick, leaving patients with the medical bills.

The SFGate reported on a new bill that may fix health care in California. The new bill, AB1324, makes it clear that health insurance companies can not cancel policies and leave patients stranded when they need health coverage the most. The bill passed out with overwhelming bipartisan support in both houses, and is now on Gov. Schwarzenegger's desk awaiting his signature.
