2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION
Assembly Bill | No. 2459 |
Introduced by Assembly Member Friedman |
February 14, 2018 |
An act relating to health care coverage.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2459, as introduced, Friedman.
Health care coverage.
Existing federal law, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), enacted various health care coverage market reforms that took effect January 1, 2014. PPACA required each state, by January 1, 2014, to establish an American Health Benefit Exchange to facilitate the purchase of qualified health benefit plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers. PPACA defines a “qualified health plan” as a plan that, among other requirements, provides an essential health benefits package. Existing state law creates the California Health Benefit Exchange, also known as Covered California, to facilitate the purchase of qualified health plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would ensure that a Californian who purchases health
care coverage as an individual would spend no more than ___% of his or her income on the premiums for health care coverage that pays ___% of the average cost of care.
