ETF Issues Statement on the Federal Health Insurance Act
March 26, 2010
The recently-enacted federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590) and the health care reconciliation bill (H.R. 4872), which, as of this writing, is being considered by Congress, will make changes to health insurance coverage. The Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF), the state agency that administers the state and local group health insurance programs, is currently in the process of reviewing both the Act and the reconciliation bill to determine the impact they will have on the programs administered by ETF. The Act and reconciliation bill contain a substantial amount of language (the Act has nearly 2500 pages). Therefore, we would appreciate your patience as we carefully review the Act and the reconciliation bill in their entirety. We will provide more information about the impact of the Act on the state and local health programs as it becomes available.
