Next week we will be turning in the signatures for our ballot petition to force health insurance companies to justify their rates and get permission before instituting their rate hikes.
Download, sign and return in the mail by the end of the weekend to be part of the signature turn-in or forever hold your peace.
This short video preview of the initiative by our friends in Hollywood explains why this is the most important autograph you will give this year.

Interesting. However, I saw this nugget in the faq document linked from justifyrate.org’s website:
Q: Is there precedent for this kind of regulation of health insurance companies?
A: Thirty-five states, but not California, already require health insurance companies to get rate increases approved before they take effect.
I’m wondering if these regulations in other states have resulted in decreased, affordable rates…? Pretty skeptical of any attempt to regulate these turkeys at this point, with the media and politicians being fully owned subsidiaries/partners of our Medical Industrial Establishment.
All the best, hope is the right medicine for these vampires.
