Gov. Brewer vetoed SB 1593, the Health Care Freedom Compact Act, which would have allowed out-of-state companies to write health-insurance policies in Arizona and waived Arizona’s 32 insurance mandates, which require insurers to cover a host of treatments and services.

180 degree, do ya think?
she vetoed pro gun measures last week.
is there a recall procedure in Az?
I don’t blame her for this. A lot of governors would not want to mess with their own state’s Dept. of Insurance and all the laws that encompass their own state’s health insurance laws. It is a can of worms she probably did not want to open.
She wants to run for US Senate and it looks like the current US Senate RINOs have gotten a hold of her.
She's not a real conservative.
She pushed a State sales tax increase about 18 months ago.
She endorsed McCain against Hayworth in the 2010 Senate primary.

HMO's and PPO's are NOT HEALTH INSURANCE! They are private contracts.
“Brewer says she vetoed the bill Thursday partly because of a provision added late in the legislative process. That provision would have allowed insurers licensed by Arizona to drop specific mandated coverage if an out-of-state company doesn’t provide the mandated coverage in a policy issued in Arizona.
Brewer also says she has concerns about whether Arizonans would have adequate recourses if mistreated by out-of-state insurers.”

And she vetoed the “birther bill” and came up with an excuse. I don’t trust her, but it doesn’t really matter because I don’t live in AZ.
LLS
Some states have claimed that those contracts are regulated by their State Insurance Regulators, but they are not. There is some give-n-take by the plans and the states as a compromise, but it's not insurance.
Agreed
RINOS sell us out one concession at a time.
Wow...he really got to her when she visited the White House last year....
This is exactly right. There are reasons why states have insurance oversight bodies, and a big reason is that it helps ensure the financial stability of insurance companies and protects state residents from half-@ssed insurance companies that operate outside of any state oversight.
Currently, Arizona’s health insurance companies are a government-created cartel, shielded from out-of-state competition by protectionist legislation. Combined with heavy legislative coverage mandates, the result is higher premiums for health insurance plans, which then cause consumers on the margin to become uninsured.
Senate Bill 1593 would allow Arizona health insurance consumers to shop for regulated health insurance plans offered in other States. Unfortunately, Arizona’s health insurance companies are lobbying very hard to protect their cartel against the competition that would be unleashed by SB 1593.
“It provided grants and loans to provide, start, or expand a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO); removed certain state restrictions for federally qualified HMOs; and required employers with 25 or more employees to offer federally certified HMO options”
Why don’t people understand that part about removing certain state restrictions? (The HMO Act) This was the year and the first shot fired in the war of federal takeover of healthcare. The states have very limited oversight of HMO healthcare plans, if any at all.
