NEW: Government Watchdog Report Finds Health Insurance Alternatives May Leave Consumers and Workers Vulnerable to Low-Quality Coverage, Misleading Marketing

Press Release

"Today's new report offers compelling evidence that alternatives to comprehensive health insurance--nontraditional arrangements that are not subject to federal and state standards--leave consumers and workers without the protections and quality coverage they deserve. While we still need additional information regarding enrollment in Farm Bureau health plans, health care sharing ministries, and fixed indemnity plans, it is clear that stronger oversight by state and federal regulators is necessary to protect individuals from inadequate coverage and misleading marketing practices. Every American deserves access to affordable and high-quality health coverage, and I will continue working with Ranking Member DeSaulnier and my colleagues on the Committee to deliver on that promise."
