Health Plans

The Assembly will hear the third reading of SB 840 by Sen. Sheila Kuehl (D-Los Angeles) (Bill status, 8/24). The bill would create the California Health Insurance System, a state-run, single-payer health care system to be administered by a newly created California Health Insurance Agency. Under the measure, the health care system would have to be operational within two years of enacting the bill. Amendments to the legislation did not change the nature of the measure (Bill text, 8/24).
