HB 113 (Health Care Sharing Ministry Amendments)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

Health care cost sharing plans involve members voluntarily sending payments to help defray others' medical costs, with the promise and presumption that others will do the same for them as needed. They are not insurance plans, and actually are exempt from the federal insurance mandate; members of these programs are not penalized for not having insurance.

This bill exempts members of these cost sharing programs from insurance regulations by the state, statutorily making clear that such programs are not insurance and should not be regulated as such. Libertas Institute supports this bill.
