Can't recall letter bearing his name saying health insurance fee OK'd

A state legislator said Wednesday that though his name is on the letterhead and a signature line, he doesn't remember writing or approving a letter saying a committee had formally accepted a recommendation on the fee that should be charged to insurance companies offering plans on the state's health insurance exchange.The Dec. 11 letter describes the activities of the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace Legislative Oversight Committee during 2015, including an Oct. 22 meeting in which the chairman of the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace's board of directors reported the board's recommendation on the fee."A motion was made to accept the Board's recommendation, and the motion was affirmed by the Oversight Committee," the letter says.

Why does health insurance deny your claim, but pay your neighbor's?

Tracey Stahl lost part of a leg to bone cancer last fall, and she has to wince through bouts of crippling pain from an ill-fitting artificial limb because of a strange health insurance limit: Her plan covers just one limb per lifetime.She now has to weigh whether to dump the nearly $9,000 cost of a new leg on her credit card as she fights her insurance company over the restriction."I feel — it's embarrassing to say — paralyzed about what to do," said Stahl, from her home in Penfield, New York.

Vanderbilt settles health insurance suit from Christian student

Vanderbilt University has settled a dispute with a Christian student who sought a waiver from the school's compulsory health insurance policy because it required him to pay for transgender surgery.Octavio Edgington, a senior political science major at the Nashville, Tennessee university, sought the waiver on moral and religious grounds, but was initially rejected without any explanation other than that the alternative policy he proposed would fail to meet unspecified requirements."If our insurance was meeting the federal guidelines...then I don't see how they could reject my waiver."

Scott outlines health insurance changes

Scott outlines health insurance changes

BURLINGTON—Lt.Phil Scott says he would abandon the state's health care exchange and lobby the federal government to allow Vermont businesses to buy insurance across state lines if he becomes governor.Those were two aspects of the health care reform plan he announced at the top of Church Street, where he said that under the last six years of Democratic Party leadership in Montpelier, health care costs have increased by "well over 20 percent."The plan includes many of Scott's positions from the primary campaign—that the state abandon Vermont Health Connect in favor of either the federal exchange or a multi-state exchange, and that the administrative costs of Medicaid are too high.
