How will the Supreme Court decision influence the Health Care Reform in California? About 21% of the population of the State of California, nearly 7 million people, are uninsured. Consequently, California is paying close attention to last week's Supreme Court hearing concerning the Affordable Care Act. The remarks of the conservative Supreme Court justices raise the concern that it is very possible the court will strike the individual mandate to purchase health coverage. Such a ruling could throw out the entire Affordable Care Act as unconstitutional. If the federal law is struck down how will the California insurance commissioner handle health care reform in California?
California's Insurance Commissioner, Dave Jones, has stated that he "would work with other state leaders to make sure that California continues to move ahead. 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".
