Work Comp
Last year the Covered California got the legislature to pass a bill limiting public access to its expenses and payments. This year Governor Brown has corrected this, in part, by signing SB 332 by Senator Bill Emmerson (R-Redlands) which makes Covered California's contracts and rates of payment to vendors and contractors, and other board and staff work open to public inspection under the California Public Records Act (PRA), except for health plan contracts and their rates, which are made public in three and four years respectively. Hidden from public view were the millions in payments the government gave to SEIU, and other organizations to serve as "Navigators." We'll see what we can see.
