2003 Senate Bill 460 ↩

Senate Roll Call 295: Passed

To adopt a compromise version of the bill reported by a House-Senate conference committee. The committee version is similar to that passed by the Senate. Significantly, it would limit the discounts that a taxable, for-profit health insurance company could offer based on the (younger) age of an insured. Provisions in the House package requiring Blue Cross Blue Shield to only offer long term care insurance through a taxable for-profit subsidiary, and not directly, are included. See Senate-passed version for more details.
