The Health Insurance Bill
Temporary tax on insurers to help health insurance costs
Increasing temporarily insurance premium taxes on insurers to fund health insurance premium assistance.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, insurers would pay a short‑term tax, and the money would be used to lower health insurance premiums for people who need help.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could give low‑income families a break on their health bills, but insurers might raise other rates to cover the tax, so voters should watch the debate.
