Senate Roll Call 199: The substitute was not adopted

To replace the previous version of the bill with one that that does not include the state-sponsored "stop loss" policy provisions, but does include the provisions that make it easier for schools and local governments to form insurance purchasing pools. An amendment offered by Senator Kahn and adopted which would effectively eliminate a provision require the Michigan Education Special Services Association, an insurance agency subsidiary of the MEA teachers union that provides health insurance to most school districts, to release individual school district claims history data. This information is said to be necessary to allow other insurance providers to bid on a district's health insurance purchases.
