Support Assemblymember Dave Jones' Bill AB 2578 to Stop Outrageous Rate Hikes by Health Insurance Companies
That's why Assemblymember Dave Jones re-introduced AB 2578 - the Health Care Affordability Act - to make sure that strong consumer protections are in place to prevent outrageous rate hikes for health insurance. Under AB 2578, HMOs and health insurers would need to receive approval from the Department of Managed Health Care or the Department of Insurance before they could increase any rate premiums. Without this new legislation, we will continue to see skyrocketing health insurance premiums, just like the recent one announced by Anthem Blue Cross which raised premiums on its individual plan product by as much as 39 percent.
Sign our petition today to support AB 2578.

REGULATE THEM. Insurance isnt a luxury, its a necessity.
why do they get away with this. every year its more expensive for less coverage. fix it.
Enough is enough. These companies make billions but keep asking for more from families who are struggling. Stop letting them do whatever they want.
My premiums went up way too much last month. I cant even afford to see my doctor anymore. Pass this bill now
Prop 103 worked for car insurance so why not here. makes total sense to require approval before raising rates on people.

39 percent hike is pure greed. They have us over a barrel and its wrong.
