The 2014 Approval of Healthcare Insurance Rate Changes Initiative Statute will give California state insurance regulators the ability to reject "unreasonable" health insurance premium increases.

It is modeled after Proposition 103 which gives state regulators the power to reject unreasonable car insurance rates.
