URGING AND ENCOURAGING HEALTH INSURERS, WORKING WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE, TO DEVELOP AND MARKET "BARE BONES" HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE COVERAGE MORE AFFORDABLE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THIS STATE.
Whereas, the need in this State for "bare bones" or basic health insurance is very great; and
Whereas, the development and marketing of such health insurance plans, in an effort to make coverage more affordable, is of the utmost importance; and
Whereas, the South Carolina Department of Insurance is in a position to assist in the development of these insurance plans, and the department's efforts could go a very long way in making this goal a reality. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, urges and encourages health insurers, working with the South Carolina Department of Insurance, to develop and market "bare bones" health insurance plans in an effort to make coverage more affordable for the residents of this State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Chief Insurance Commissioner.
