SB 810 dead?

[Cleita]

I called the Senators who declined to vote and asked them to vote for the bill. Three senator's aids said they would pass on the message. None told me the bill was dead. A very rude woman at Senator Wright's office said the bill was not coming on the floor for consideration and was dead and when I said this could fire up the occupy movement even more, she accused me of threatening them and then hung up on me when I tried to tell her it could go badly if the people of California were ignored. I wasn't threatening. I was telling her what could happen.

But besides that bit of unpleasantness, does anyone know what happened and why is the bill dead? Who is behind it and maybe it is time to start occupying the source of this. (Big Guess, Blue Cross, United Health care, etc. etc. etc..)

1. Senator Roderick Wright's district

encompasses the southland's mothership of Kaiser-Permanente a mega HMO in CA. It might explain his reluctance to pass SB 810, however, it's beyond me why they (Kaiser) would object, since supposedly they are non-profit.

3. To update.

I talked to Senator Leno's office and it seems he couldn't get those four senators to vote for it, so the bill wasn't put up for a vote and apparently will not be brought up again until next year.

THIS SUCKS BIG TIME!!!

4. Wow, that is seriously disapointing.

Thanks for following up on this. I was really hoping this would bring CA to the for front of the country on this issue. Apparently big medicine and the congress critters who do their bidding at the expense of the citizens are winning this round.
