Gov. Davis Signs Health Insurance Bill
Law Takes Effect In 2006
California is now the largest state to require employers to offer health insurance to their workers.

Gov. Gray Davis signed the new law in Los Angeles over the weekend calling it a model for the rest of the country.

Under the new law, the state will finance the insurance through a new purchasing pool. Employers will pay 80 percent; employees will pick up the remaining 20 percent.

The new law takes effect in 2006 and for the first year, it only affects businesses with more than 200 employees.

Under the new law, 1.1 million workers and their families will be covered.
