BILL NUMBER:  SB 890
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 890 without my signature.
While I appreciate the author's leadership and efforts to help
transition California's healthcare delivery system in preparation for
more significant changes in 2014, this bill creates unnecessary and
duplicative costs by requiring health plans and health insurers to
meet disclosure requirements in 2011 that will change again in 2014.
The added costs for implementing the provisions of this bill
outweigh the potential short-term benefits for the two regulatory
entities, the affected health plans and consumers.
For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill.
Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger
