Why shouldn’t the Legislature pass something now and amend it later?
A. That’s a bad way to make law because once legislation is signed into law, changing it may not be possible for a variety of reasons. For example, other issues may grab the Legislature’s attention once they pass a bill which is intended to “solve” a problem. The challenge here, however, is that if AB 8 is passed as is, it will make California’s health insurance system worse, not better.
