To redirect excessive health insurer reserves to support health care safety net programs

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would require health insurance companies to pay an assessment based on their surplus funds above a certain level. This money, totaling $400 million, would be transferred to two funds: the Health Safety Net Trust Fund and the Medicaid Stabilization Trust Fund. These funds are intended to support healthcare safety net programs and prevent reductions in care access for MassHealth beneficiaries. This assessment would expire at the end of 2026.
