INSURANCE COMMISSIONER JOHN GARAMENDI ISSUES REPORT ON THE CRISIS IN CALIFORNIA BROKEN HEALTH CARE
SAN FRANCISCO – Warning that California’s health care system is in a “death spiral,” Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi on Wednesday unveiled a comprehensive report outlining his plan to begin reforming the system and bring universal access to health care. The report, “Priced Out,” details serious problems facing Californians as rising costs burden the entire health system and fray the safety net. Its findings will be used to provide the framework for the concerted effort by Commissioner Garamendi to begin reform of the system and to lay the groundwork for universal access to health care.
