For many people, health insurance is a lifeline. That’s why it’s such a profound violation when health insurers deny care they should be covering. Wrongful denials are a growing indignity facing Californians, and we have to call it out. I wrote a first-of-its-kind bill called the Health Insurance Accountability Act to tackle this problem head on by holding health insurance companies accountable for wrongful denials. We need to pass it through the Legislature before the deadline at the end of August, and then fight to pass similar reforms through Congress.
