Arnold Schwarzenegger got the applause of the Californian populace. Since health insurance companies have this policy called “balanced billing” (wherein people from the medical profession can charge their “usual fees” to their patients), his wits told him to put an end to this practice and impose a ban on balanced billing. These usual fees are normally above what the insurance companies offer and so, patients are forced to comply with this arrangement. The ban covers emergency cases only (emergency room patients), nevertheless, this will help Californians a lot when it comes to money matters (no unnecessary expenditures).
