Will California have any health care insurers left if voters pass this slap to their faces?

Proposed California ballot initiative ‘Luigi Mangione Act’ would make it harder for insurers to deny medical care
By Iman Palm - March 28, 2025A proposed California ballot initiative, named after alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, has been recently submitted to the California Attorney General’s Office.
The initiative would make it illegal for an insurance company to “delay, deny or modify any medical procedure or medication” suggested by a licensed physician in the Golden State, which could have serious consequences such as “disability, death, amputation, permanent disfigurement, loss or reduction of any bodily function,” the document stated.
If the initiative is enacted, any decision by an insurer to delay, deny or modify can only be made by a physician on behalf of any insurer. The initiative would also make it a felony to employ someone who is not a physician to review a decision made by a physician.
Should insurance companies delay, they would have to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the medication or procedure was unnecessary or would not result in disability, death, amputation, permanent disfigurement or the loss or reduction of any bodily function.
People could sue insurers and receive attorney fees and treble damages, which are three times the amount of actual damages determined by a jury.
The initiative is currently under review. A public comment period will be open through April 25. Californians are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed measure during this time.
The Attorney General’s Office would ultimately craft the initiative’s title before initiative petitions are circulated to get signatures from registered voters.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered SDNY prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione:

Attorney General Pam Bondi wants the death penalty for Luigi Mangione over alleged 'cold-blooded assassination' of UnitedHealthcare CEO
By Jacob Shamsian - April 1, 2025* Attorney General Pamela Bondi wants the death penalty for Luigi Mangione.
* While New York state doesn't allow the death penalty, it can still be sought by federal prosecutors.
* Bondi called Brian Thompson's killing a "premeditated, cold-blooded assassination."Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
"Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America," Bondi said in a statement Tuesday. "After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump's agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again."
The former Ivy League student is facing two parallel criminal cases in Manhattan, one from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and one from federal prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York.
New York has eliminated the death penalty for cases brought by state prosecutors, such as the Manhattan District Attorney. Federal prosecutors in the Justice Department can still seek death as a punishment.
Law enforcement officials arrested Mangione in Pennsylvania in December, following a manhunt. They say he shot and killed Thompson on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk as he arrived at a conference.
Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. While Mangione is in federal custody — housed in the same jail as Sean "Diddy" Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried — the Manhattan District Attorney's case has been moving more swiftly to trial. Last week, prosecutors and defense attorneys sparred over whether he should be permitted to have a laptop in jail as he prepares his defense.
A federal judge had already assigned a lawyer specializing in capital punishment, Avi Moskowitz, to Mangione's defense team in February. A representative for Mangione's legal team didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump has prioritized the death penalty in the federal criminal justice system. Bondi, in her first day in office, issued a memorandum lifting a Biden-era moratorium on executions.
