California votes against extending canceled health policies

◼ Spurning President Obama’s plan for canceled policies, California's health insurance exchange voted against any extension for about 1 million policyholders in the state. - LA Times

The vote by the state exchange marks a break with the president since California has been a strong supporter of the Affordable Care Act. Some other Democrat-led states, such as Washington and Minnesota, have also rejected the president's idea on cancellations.

Obama's plan last week came in response to a public uproar over millions of consumers nationwide losing their coverage.

Don't worry you mil+ in CA who've had their ins cancelled. U can join Obamacare plans. Good chance your doctor doesn't accept it, though.
