The Drops Study Bill
Tennessee bill drops study on Medicare supplement rates for under‑65
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8; Title 56 and Title 71, relative to medicare supplement policies.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the state would stop requiring a study on how to price Medicare supplement plans for people under 65.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
People should watch because without the study insurers may set rates for younger retirees without extra review, possibly changing what they pay.
