Mark Leno Bill AB 1163 Sells Out Consumer To Health Insurance Industry

by KPFA Living Room
San Francisco Democratic Party Assemblyman Mark Leno sold out people fighting the insurance industry when he supported AB 1163 which takes away the rights of the Insurance Commissioner to regulate the insurance industry.
Mark Leno, Democratic Assemblyman in San Francisco sold out to the insurance industry in supporting AB 1163 which takes away power from the California Insurance Commissioner. This is reported at 46.46 into the KPFA program.
Health Access representative Anthony Wright tries to do damage control for Leno but apparently lies or doesn't know what he is talking about.
Also CNA representative Michael Lighty pleads for people to support Privatizer Jerry Brown against Meg Whitman and calls on people not to put pressure on Brown to support single payer. Is it any surprise the Democratic politicians shit on these unions and the people of California in the legislature?
