Health Plans
AB 1840 by Assembly member Jerome Horton (D-Inglewood) would require the Department of Health Services and the Medical Risk Management Information Board to submit annually to the Legislature a report that identifies all businesses that employ 25 or more workers who receive government-sponsored health insurance. The report would be publicly disclosed (Bill text, 8/7).
AB 2059 by Assembly member Patty Berg (D-Santa Rosa) would revise the County Medical Services Program to permit variations in eligibility criteria and benefits in certain counties and allow the program governing board to develop pilot projects related to determining eligibility or providing benefits under the program (Bill text, 8/23).
The bills have moved to the governor for consideration.
