What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan (HIRSP) under current law provides

health insurance coverage for persons who are covered under Medicare because they

are disabled, persons who have tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus

(HIV), persons who have been refused coverage, or coverage at an affordable price,

in the private health insurance market because of their mental or physical health

condition, and persons who do not currently have health insurance coverage but who

were covered under certain types of health insurance coverage (creditable coverage)

for at least 18 months in the past. Persons who are eligible for coverage under HIRSP

on the basis of being denied coverage by a private insurer must have been denied

coverage by two or more insurers. This bill changes that criterion for eligibility to

a denial of coverage by one or more insurers.
