What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
On March 23, 2010, the federal government enacted the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which, among other things, imposes requirements and limitations on health insurance policies and health plans, requires the creation of state-based health insurance exchanges through which individuals and small employers can purchase insurance, changes the income eligibility criteria for Medicaid (known as Medical Assistance in this state), and creates incentives for improving access to health care. This bill requires agencies of the state to submit annually to the legislature a report that describes the cost, since March 23, 2010, to that agency of implementing PPACA and any federal moneys received after March 23, 2010, related to implementing PPACA, with the first report due by September 1, 2012. In addition, certain agencies must include certain information in their annual reports for that year and in an analysis of any change in the information after March 23, 2010. The Department of Health Services must include the average spending per recipient for Medical Assistance programs and the spending for Medical Assistance programs as a percentage of the state budget. The Department of Safety and Professional Services shall include the number of physicians practicing in the state.
The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance must include the number of insurance companies that offer health care plans in the state. The bill also requires the commissioner of insurance to include in his or her annual report to the legislature a review of the effect the implementation of PPACA has on rates of health care plans that are not issued through a governmental body. That review must include the average rate for each health care plan.
