Prop. 103 repeal is a good if unlikely idea

News reports have pointed to a newly proposed ballot initiative that would repeal California’s system of insurance regulation that took effect after voters approved Proposition 103 in 1988.

Think of it as a useful thought experiment, given there’s little chance of that happening.
