04/17/2008 -- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued the following statement after his Administration's Department of Managed Health Care announced that coverage would be reinstated for many Californians after an investigation into rescission practices by health care insurers:

"It's outrageous that innocent patients have to live in fear of losing their health care coverage. I look forward to working with my partners in the Legislature to ensure this egregious practice is stopped.

My comprehensive health care proposal provided the best solution to this problem: requiring an individual mandate and guaranteed issue so that no Californian is denied coverage due to age or preexisting medical conditions."
