BILL NUMBER:  AB 1759
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 1759 without my signature.
This bill is one more attempt to solve an extremely complex problem
through over-regulation, micromanagement and the placement of
unnecessary requirements in the contracting process - all without
actually solving the underlying issue.
Health coverage is expensive.  It's getting more expensive every day.
  Requiring sophisticated buyers, brokers and health plans to
statutorily notify each other that costs may increase throughout the
year is similar to advising them that the sun is going to rise in the
east.
Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger
