Health Insurance Group Offers Good Starting Point for Reform
Health Insurance Group Offers Good Starting Point for Reform
Editor,
The Legislature is about to consider a host of healthcare reform proposals. As a professional health insurance agent, I’ve had a unique view of the current system. In helping my clients find the right plan for their unique needs, I’ve seen what works in today’s system – and what doesn’t.
Because I’m proud of the services I provide my clients, I’m a member of the California Association of Health Underwriters, the state’s largest association for health insurance agents, brokers and other professionals.
We’ve put forward a reasonable and responsible health care reform proposal called Healthy Solutions. It can be downloaded at www.CAHU.org.
Healthy Solutions is based on the belief that all Californians deserve a health care system that delivers both world-class care and financial security. We deserve a system that is accessible, affordable and fair.
Californians deserve a system that boosts the state’s economy, attracts new businesses and strengthens existing enterprises. Californians also deserve a system that is realistic.
We can only do so much as a single state; but what we can do, we should do.
As the Legislature considers reform, we can only hope they will preserve what works while putting right what needs fixing. CAHU’s Healthy Solutions is a good place to start.

Deputy Sheriff’s Association Trying to Influence Jury Pool
Editor,
I cannot agree or disagree with George Dias on how he dealt with the law enforcement individual because I was not there ( “San Juan Councilman Arrested for Assault,” April 17).
However, the intimidation by influencing the jury pool by the San Benito County Deputy Sheriff’s Association is uncalled for especially so quickly after the alleged offense ( “Councilman Should Be Ashamed,” April 18). The SBCDSA does not show professionalism when they tamper with a jury pool.
Yes, there is freedom of speech, but when it is a law enforcement organization having power to enforce laws enacted by a legislative body they have to be held to a higher standard.
Trying people in the press shows small minds and highly socialistic ideas.
Mr. Dias with all his good points and bad points needs a even playing field, not one tainted by law enforcement.
I want to tell my children that America does stand for something. This is a place where a small percentage of guilty people are set free so no one innocent person is convicted and where you are innocent first while the state has to grove guilt.
