BILL NUMBER:  AB 2088
  VETOED	DATE: 09/25/2014




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2088 without my signature.

This bill seeks to prevent substandard health care coverage from
being sold in the employer market by setting a minimum threshold for
value.

While well-intentioned, to the extent this bill would outlaw any
"grandfathered plans" ? those products that have been continuously
sold to an employer prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act ?
it may violate federal law.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
