"I would work with other state leaders to make sure California continues to move ahead," said Dave Jones, state insurance commissioner. "We require everyone to have auto insurance in California, and the world hasn't stopped spinning on its axis. All this political tumult generated by the far right is really ignoring the reality in California and elsewhere."Uh, no. California, like other states, requires auto insurance to drive on public roads. If you don't have a car or don't drive on public roads, you don't need auto insurance. Merely being alive isn't sufficient to mandate auto insurance.
[T]he California Health Benefit Exchange — using about $40 million in federal money — has been setting up an enrollment process and marketing campaign to reach consumers in preparation for a January 2014 launch.Forty million for 'enrollment process and marketing' for a mandatory system. Does the word 'squandering' come to mind?
California reminds me of the Roadrunner in the old Loonie Tunes cartoons. They've already run off the cliff; just not looked down yet.
