Congressional leaders push for multi-state insurance options
["Free-Market Health Insurance Reform Introduced," Magic City Morning Star, 12 May 2005.]
Association health plans have their supporters and detractors, but the ability to purchase a policy in Kansas without all of the mandates state government in Kansas places on policies here has a lot of appeal:
The Health Care Choice Act [is] federal legislation introduced by US Representative John Shadegg (R-Arizona) on Thursday, May 12. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) will introduce the Senate companion bill.
If enacted into law, the bill will allow individuals to purchase state regulated health insurance across state lines. Such a policy change will provide consumers with access to a wider range of health insurance options at varying prices and create a national competitive health insurance market.
"A multi-state insurance market will have a transformative effect, providing consumers with more health insurance choices while lowering the cost of policy premiums," said Tarren Bragdon, Director of Health Reform Initiatives for The Maine Heritage Policy Center. "This concept is a win-win situation for consumers."
