Expand Access and Reduce Costs
Expand Access
Enhance Outreach: Increase grants to health marketplace navigators in areas of the State with uninsured rates among low-income individuals that are higher than the State average (A.9405, Jensen).
​​
Ease Enrollment: Create a program within the Department of Health to assist individuals without employer-sponsored coverage with enrolling in coverage through state income tax filings, and allow for expanded special enrollment periods for first-time enrollees and individuals enrolling through the tax filing program (A.9378, Jensen).
Reduce Costs
​Reduce Costs: Create a Health Benefit and Cost Commission to review proposed mandated health benefits that may impact the cost of health insurance coverage, and require legislation proposing a mandated health benefit to include a cost-impact statement (A.9367, Jensen).
