The law exempts the Golden State from a Trump administration rule that shortens the sign-up period to 45 days, and applies to people who purchase individual market plans for 2019 and beyond.

Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina) in response to the impending departures of Anthem Blue Cross and Cigna from portions of California’s individual insurance market next year.

Currently, children who receive government assistance such as Medi-Cal must be screened for lead, but that requirement doesn’t extend to other children. Doctors will also have to consider new factors when evaluating children, such as proximity to potential sources of lead contamination. A report published last month by the Environmental Working Group showed that \u003ca href=\"http://www.ewg.org/research/one-third-california-s-high-risk-kids-not-tested-lead-poisoning#.Wd6u82hSyUk\">one-third of infants\u003c/a> who were at risk for lead poisoning had not been tested. “The current screening process is outdated and leaves many children vulnerable to lead poisoning,” Quirk said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Unapproved Stem Cell Treatments\u003c/strong>🖋\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown approved \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB512\">a bill\u003c/a> that requires doctors to warn their patients before they undergo \u003ca href=\"https://ipscell.com/2017/10/groundbreaking-california-stem-cell-law-gives-consumer-protections-on-clinics/\">unapproved stem cell therapies\u003c/a>. SB 512, also by Hernandez, says health care providers who offer such treatments must disclose to patients that the treatments have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and urge them “to consult with your primary care physician prior to undergoing a stem cell therapy.” Health care providers may face fines for noncompliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Valley Fever\u003c/strong>🚫\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown nixed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1279\">AB 1279\u003c/a>, which would have required the state Department of Public Health to develop additional outreach programs to educate people about Valley Fever, an infection caused by inhaling fungal spores often found in soil. The measure, by Assemblyman Rudy Salas (D-Bakersfield), had been watered down from its original form by the time it hit the governor’s desk. The original language called for a $2 million investment in research on the disease, which is common in dry regions, like Salas’ district. In his \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_1279_Veto_Message_2017.pdf\">veto message\u003c/a>, Brown said the department already provides fact sheets, brochures and other materials to educate the public about Valley Fever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smoking At State Parks\u003c/strong>🚫\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once again, Brown \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/will-california-kick-butts-off-state-beaches-not-this-year/\">vetoed legislation\u003c/a> that would have banned smoking at state beaches and parks. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB725\">AB 725\u003c/a>, by Assemblyman Marc Levine (D-San Rafael), would have established smoking areas at some parks and beaches.

In his \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_725_Veto_Message_2017.pdf\">veto message\u003c/a>, Brown said a ban would be an overreach of government power. “If people can’t smoke even on a deserted beach, where can they?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reproductive Bias\u003c/strong>🚫\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bill that would have prohibited institutions with religious affiliations from firing employees because of their reproductive choices, such as having abortions, failed to make it past the governor’s desk. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB569\">AB 569\u003c/a>, by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher (D-San Diego), would have barred religion-based employers such as a Christian school, from requiring workers to sign a code of conduct that waived their reproductive health rights. \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_569_Veto_Message_2017.pdf\">In his veto message\u003c/a>, Brown said that “these types of claims should remain within the jurisdiction of the Department of Fair Employment and Housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SEE YOU NEXT YEAR?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Some significant health bills that stalled in the legislature, but may be resurrected for another attempt in 2018)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Regulating Dialysis Clinics\u003c/strong>🤔\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A proposal by Sen.

The law exempts the Golden State from a Trump administration rule that shortens the sign-up period to 45 days, and applies to people who purchase individual market plans for 2019 and beyond.

Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina) in response to the impending departures of Anthem Blue Cross and Cigna from portions of California’s individual insurance market next year.

Currently, children who receive government assistance such as Medi-Cal must be screened for lead, but that requirement doesn’t extend to other children. Doctors will also have to consider new factors when evaluating children, such as proximity to potential sources of lead contamination. A report published last month by the Environmental Working Group showed that \u003ca href=\"http://www.ewg.org/research/one-third-california-s-high-risk-kids-not-tested-lead-poisoning#.Wd6u82hSyUk\">one-third of infants\u003c/a> who were at risk for lead poisoning had not been tested. “The current screening process is outdated and leaves many children vulnerable to lead poisoning,” Quirk said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Unapproved Stem Cell Treatments\u003c/strong>🖋\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown approved \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB512\">a bill\u003c/a> that requires doctors to warn their patients before they undergo \u003ca href=\"https://ipscell.com/2017/10/groundbreaking-california-stem-cell-law-gives-consumer-protections-on-clinics/\">unapproved stem cell therapies\u003c/a>. SB 512, also by Hernandez, says health care providers who offer such treatments must disclose to patients that the treatments have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and urge them “to consult with your primary care physician prior to undergoing a stem cell therapy.” Health care providers may face fines for noncompliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Valley Fever\u003c/strong>🚫\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown nixed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1279\">AB 1279\u003c/a>, which would have required the state Department of Public Health to develop additional outreach programs to educate people about Valley Fever, an infection caused by inhaling fungal spores often found in soil. The measure, by Assemblyman Rudy Salas (D-Bakersfield), had been watered down from its original form by the time it hit the governor’s desk. The original language called for a $2 million investment in research on the disease, which is common in dry regions, like Salas’ district. In his \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_1279_Veto_Message_2017.pdf\">veto message\u003c/a>, Brown said the department already provides fact sheets, brochures and other materials to educate the public about Valley Fever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Smoking At State Parks\u003c/strong>🚫\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once again, Brown \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/will-california-kick-butts-off-state-beaches-not-this-year/\">vetoed legislation\u003c/a> that would have banned smoking at state beaches and parks. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB725\">AB 725\u003c/a>, by Assemblyman Marc Levine (D-San Rafael), would have established smoking areas at some parks and beaches. People caught smoking outside those designated spaces would have faced a $50 fine. A stricter bill by Sen. Steve Glazer (D-Orinda), \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB386\">SB 386\u003c/a>, proposed a fine of up to $100. Lawmakers had previously sent similar legislation to Brown, but so far they have not won him over. In his \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_725_Veto_Message_2017.pdf\">veto message\u003c/a>, Brown said a ban would be an overreach of government power. “If people can’t smoke even on a deserted beach, where can they?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reproductive Bias\u003c/strong>🚫\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bill that would have prohibited institutions with religious affiliations from firing employees because of their reproductive choices, such as having abortions, failed to make it past the governor’s desk. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB569\">AB 569\u003c/a>, by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher (D-San Diego), would have barred religion-based employers such as a Christian school, from requiring workers to sign a code of conduct that waived their reproductive health rights. \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_569_Veto_Message_2017.pdf\">In his veto message\u003c/a>, Brown said that “these types of claims should remain within the jurisdiction of the Department of Fair Employment and Housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SEE YOU NEXT YEAR?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Some significant health bills that stalled in the legislature, but may be resurrected for another attempt in 2018)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Regulating Dialysis Clinics\u003c/strong>🤔\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A proposal by Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) would have required minimum staff-to-patient ratios at dialysis centers, such as one nurse for every eight patients or one technician for every three.

A \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB251\">bill\u003c/a> by Assemblyman Rob Bonta (D-Oakland) would have required dialysis centers to spend at least 85 percent of their revenue primarily on direct patient care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both measures were backed by a large labor union, Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West (\u003ca href=\"http://www.seiu-uhw.org/\">SEIU-UHW\u003c/a>), which has threatened to take the issue directly to voters if the Legislature does not act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Single-Payer Health Care\u003c/strong>🤔\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ambitious attempt to create one government-administered or “single-payer” health care system in California has been tabled until next year. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB562\">SB 562\u003c/a> by Lara and Assemblywoman Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) would provide comprehensive health coverage to all Californians, regardless of immigration status. Private insurance companies would be barred from the system, and enrollees would not be charged copayments or premiums.

For instance, consumers will no longer subsidize lavish salaries for hospital CEOs and excessive profits because reimbursements will be tied to “efficiently providing health care services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lara said eliminating the middleman role of health insurers and consolidating the state’s purchasing power would lead to huge savings. “By pooling health care funds in a publicly run fund, we get the bargaining power of the seventh-largest economy in the world,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insurers and brokers in California and nationwide oppose single-payer proposals because they could literally put them out of business. And legislative analysts and health policy experts question whether California would be able to exert sufficient bargaining power. They noted the political constraints that Medicare has faced in flexing its market power on prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our system of government may mean single-payer is much less successful than in other countries,” Ginsburg said. “We are so open to lobbying it means we can’t count on some of the very strong actions other countries have taken to keep costs down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This story was produced by \u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a>, which publishes \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiahealthline.org/\">California Healthline\u003c/a>, an editorially independent service of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/\">California Health Care Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a> (KHN) is a national health policy news service.
