2005 House Bill 5417

Allow certain health insurance mandate exemptions

Introduced in the House

Nov. 9, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Edward Gaffney (R-1)

To allow Blue Cross Blue Shield to offer a limited benefits policy that excludes state mandated benefits if it meets certain conditions, especially explicit disclosures to customers and acknowledgements from them. These policies would presumably be more affordable than those that include all state mandated benefits.
