From the article:
The advocates’ letter states that California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act (Section 51 of the Civil Code) specifies that all people must be treated equally regardless of their “disability, [or] medical condition.”
The groups want California’s insurance commissioner, Dave Jones, to investigate a pricing tool known as specialty tiers. Those set the higher prices that insurers require consumers to pay for costly drugs to treat certain diseases, such as cancer, hemophilia and multiple sclerosis.
It was recently reported that the pay of health insurance company CEO’s pay jumped 19% in 2013. Some companies ( AETNA & CENTENE ) over DOUBLED in ONE YEAR..
Take from the “sick” to give to the “greedy ” ?
