The Health Insurers Bill
Health insurers would have to reveal their secret investments
Health care coverage: investments: disclosure.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill forces health insurance companies to publicly share exactly where they invest the billions of dollars they collect from your monthly premiums.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Every year, people pay billions of dollars for health insurance. We expect that money to pay for doctors and medicine. But right now, insurance companies can secretly invest your premium dollars to make more money for themselves. This bill changes that by forcing them to show their work. If it passes, you will finally get to see exactly what these massive companies are doing with your cash. It is still moving through the statehouse, so it is a great time to speak up for transparency.
