Lawmakers to consider rules for health insurance market

Los Angeles Times
Lawmakers are set to consider new rules for California's health insurance market on Wednesday, including a requirement for insurers to cover consumers who have preexisting medical conditions, and limits on how much they can charge based on age. The proposals, scheduled to be taken up by the Assembly and Senate health committees, are part of a legislative package that aims to help California implement President Obama's healthcare overhaul.
