CMS seeks recommendations that allow Americans to purchase health insurance across state lines
6 March 2019 - Administration continues efforts to increase consumer choice, promote competition and drive down prices in the health insurance market
The CMS issued a request for information today that solicits recommendations on how to eliminate regulatory, operational and financial barriers to enhance issuers’ ability to sell health insurance coverage across state lines.
This announcement builds on President Trump’s October 12, 2017 Executive Order, “Promoting Healthcare Choice and Competition Across the United States,” which intends to provide Americans relief from rising premiums by increasing consumer choice and competition.
