Sacramento Bee: Legislature could make health insurance more affordable, transparent in California
Here are the bills to watch in 2019 on health care affordability and access:
Introduced by Sen. Melissa Hurtado (D-Sanger)
This bill would require health plans to send notices to people who lose their coverage for any reason, and to inform them about Medi-Cal and Covered California. Plans must also provide a list of people who lost coverage to Covered California so the exchange can contact those who lost coverage directly. Hurtado says the bill will reduce coverage gaps when people’s income or other life circumstances change.
