Dear Friends,<\/span><\/p>\n

When Washington “allowed” Americans to buy 3-year, short-term health insurance. \u00a0They are often far less expensive than even the Affordable Care Act coverage with subsidies (that are being revoked slowly as well.). Well, of course they are. \u00a0They don’t remotely provide the coverage and guarantees that the ACA required for all insurance before this “reform”.<\/span><\/p>\n

These polices are “junk insurance”. \u00a0The don’t have to cover people with pre-existing conditions; they can have annual and lifetime caps that are very low; \u00a0they can and do eliminate coverage of maternity care, mental health coverage, prescription drugs. \u00a0By enticing people with lower premium prices, they add to the destabilization of the real insurance markets and are chock full of hidden surprises for those who have bought in. \u00a0It’s health insurance in name only. \u00a0It doesn’t do the job, but you might not know that until you use it, and then it’s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n

SB 910 (Hernandez) has now passed both houses. \u00a0It bans junk insurance from being sold in California. \u00a0The bill is now headed to Governor Jerry Brown for his signature. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please call, email, or write Governor Brown telling him to keep California health insurance standards high. \u00a0Please sign SB 910 so that we who are patients can know full well that we have real health care coverage, that we won’t be victims of undisclosed limitations, and that those in need of real insurance have access to it, not to the snake oil this new market would unleash on the unsuspecting.<\/span><\/p>\n

To email the Governor, click\u00a0<\/span>here<\/a><\/span><\/u>
To call Governor Brown or send a FAX, please go to the IMPACT link\u00a0<\/span>here<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

It’s important that all Californians have access to real insurance that is accessible, affordable, accountable, and inclusive. \u00a0No one should be left holding a worthless piece of paper that lets them down in their most critical time of need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Urge Governor Brown to sign SB 910!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/span><\/div>\n
