2003 House Bill 4280

Senate Roll Call 296: Passed

To require Blue Cross Blue Shield to only offer long term care insurance through a taxable for-profit subsidiary, and not directly. The bill would allow health insurance companies to use a long-term care insurance application form designed to elicit the complete health history of an applicant, and to charge different rates based on age for the same long-term care coverage if the rate differential is based on sound actuarial principles and a reasonable classification system.
