State Farm’s Emergency Rate Hike is Not Justified “Californians deserve transparency and accountability in rate-setting. The record doesn’t support this rate hike. And it shouldn’t move forward.” William Pletcher, Consumer Watchdog’s lead attorney consumerwatchdog.org/in-the-courtro…

“Every company should robustly obey the law, especially when it comes to child-protective laws...

AB 408 would repeat the mistakes of the past. The bill would replicate the problems with the Medical Board’s prior diversion program that allowed repeat offender doctors to evade discipline by entering the program, fail, and keep practicing, placing patients at risk. #NoOnAB408

If you read the bill, you can see this is designed to protect doctors not patients. The Medical Board wants to be exempt from the Uniform Standards. California is home to nearly 1,000 treatment facilities that doctors can choose from at their will, currently.

“ Ricardo Lara ’s most important job is to protect CA families but he is saying the department does not consider claims management when approving rate hikes — but this is one of the few legal powers he actually has to regulate the industry.” Joy Chen latimes.com/business/story…
