Bill overview
This bill aims to reduce healthcare costs for young people by prohibiting large group health care service plans and health insurance policies from imposing deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments on in-network health care services for individuals under 21 years old. It also prevents billing or seeking reimbursement for these services in the same age group, with some exceptions for high-deductible plans paired with health savings accounts. The bill seeks to ensure that young people have access to affordable healthcare without significant financial barriers.
