Well, under bush and by the natural process of get bigger or be eaten, corps obviously have too much power. This has happened b4 snf they (the corporations) will be reined in. But first they have to get away with rediculous things such that we see here.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: born 1947
Hillary Clinton: born 1947
George W Bush: born 1946
Bill Clinton: born 1946
Joseph Hazelwood: born 1946
60% of Congress: born 1946-1964

When a state has rendered itself unable to enforce its own regulations because its own laws have made the state subject to case-by-case lawsuits, then

THAT STATE HAS SCREWED UP ITS OWN LAWS and effectively neutered itself.

The "greatest nation in the world" cannot enforce a simple law, when the company flexes its'' corporate arm and the courts knuckle under to political influence. What sets us apart from any other second-rate dictatorship?

[randynason]

It''s pathetic that our political appointees don''t act because they are afraid they will be outgunned. They shold act anyway, as a show of intent and to draw attention to the problem. To do nothing is nothing short of giving permission.

Hmmm...

Regardless of how big the offender, I believe there should be a compelling principle to do what is right.

Insurance companies that routinely cancel customers should be informed they are no longer welcome to conduct business in that particular state.

It sounds like State of California regulators need to grow a spine and get busy with some of the court actions, while finding a way to evict this particular insurer.

Furthermore, the governor should be leading the charge on this. This is happening on his watch!

What in the hell is the matter with him?

Outgunned my A$$ the fine was already levied, no court would have tossed it out. this is about some under the table deal.

The headline should read

CALIFORNIA HEALTH INSURER IGNORES $1M FINE

Here''s an idea - WHY NOT REVOKE THEIR LICENSE OPERATE, and act like a REGULATOR instead of a CORPORATE LAPDOG...

[tbbaot]

California the smorgasboard of leftism proves once again why they are the polar opposite of the rest of the country

[caliengineer]

But, we the people can use word of mouth, and us small businessmen can "vote with our dollars"- don''t insure with them!
