THE BAYNE OF BLOG'S CALIFORNIA NOTES

That is the message the California Nurses Association and California School Employees Association would like to get out. There is only one problem, they are being ignored.

The prevailing attitude seems to be that if you just ignore SB 840 and the support it has among a majority of Californians, maybe it will just go away. Legislators aren't listening – with a few exceptions, the Governor has never listened – to the people, and the insurance industry can't hear us over the jingling of their outrageous profits. And, many legislators can't see us over the stacks of cash they receive from the insurance lobby.
