Since taking the oath of office on January 3, 2011, Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones has secured crucial victories for consumers, including:
Saving individual health insurance policyholders more than $87 million in premiums;
Issuing emergency regulations to require that at least 80 percent of the individual health insurance premium dollar go to actual health care, and not to insurer profits, marketing and overhead;
Issuing guidance to implement federal healthcare reform, including requiring health insurers to cover children with pre-existing conditions;
Protecting California’s seniors with new regulations on the sale of annuities;
Obtaining insurance company investments in low and moderate income communities;
Investigating fraud, which has lead to 190 arrests to date;
Filing two major anti-fraud lawsuits to combat healthcare provider fraud, which have cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars;
Investigating life insurance companies’ failure to pay death benefits despite constructive knowledge of policyholder deaths.
Jones served in the California State Assembly from 2004 through 2010, where he chaired the Assembly Health Committee, the Assembly Judiciary Committee and the Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services. Named “Consumer Champion” by the California Consumer Federation in 2008, Jones was also awarded the “Leadership Award” by the Western Center on Law and Poverty. Planned Parenthood, Environment California, the Urban League, Preschool California and CalPIRG have all honored his work. Capitol Weekly named Jones California’s “most effective legislator” other than the Assembly Speaker and the Senate President Pro Tempore.

"Hi guys, My name is Jose Solorio, the insurance industry has given me HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars, which foolishly I squandered away with my lax oversight of my treasurer.
Anyway, I am in need of a job, so I am trouncing around with Dave Jones to solidify my position in the pocket of United healthcare and Kaiser. PLEASE COME"
WHAT A SLUT!
