The Mobile Response Bill
Raising age for mobile response services limits help for youth
Raises the age of eligibility for mobile response and stabilization services from eighteen (18) to twenty-one (21) and establishes a minimum rate for commercial health insurance reimbursement for such services.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would make it harder for young people to get emergency help when they need it.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If this bill passes, young people aged 18 to 20 may miss out on important emergency services. It's important to speak up now to protect their access to help.
