| 18. It was actually pretty clever. |

This way they don't go on record as having voted to let health insurance companies raise rates, but they still made a symbolic gesture to appease their base and their corporate owners. The was the California legislature is set up, they could have blocked it. That's why this is such a nice victory. We can consider it a major victory when Republicans only get away with a symbolic gesture of defiance.
