Pre-Existing Conditions Bill Up for Final Vote

California Healthline
The Senate Committee on Appropriations yesterday unanimously approved ABX1-2 by Assembly member Richard Pan (D-Sacramento), the bill to ban pre-existing conditions as a means of denial for health coverage. It now heads to the Senate floor for a final confirmation vote. The bill already passed the Assembly, so Senate confirmation would be its ticket to the governor's desk. Brown Administration officials have said they support the bill.
