Center Left Capitalist dealing in straight FACTS. Ideals don't matter if you can't win. Politics, News, Economics, Polling data.
This is an issue Dems are already behind. Which is why the 7.25 minimum wage exists basically only in red states.

Now, are there challenges the CA government faces in insurance regulation? Yes, obviously. Rising wildfire risk with climate change and recent droughts will likely price a lot of folks out of insurance no matter what the government does. The math simply doesn’t work.
