Legislation introduced in the House on May 12th. by Rep. John Shadegg, being called the “Health Care Choice Act of 2005,” would enable people to buy health insurance from any state in the union regardless of where they live, as long as the insurer meets the regulatory requirements of its home state.
Insurance statutes are in Chapter 39 of the Ohio Revised Code; Title 25 Chapter 304 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes, and Title 27 of the Indiana Code.
MSNBC.com has reported that Texas has the highest percentage of adults without health insurance in the country, according to a study released last month by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, an organization which seeks to promote health insurance coverage for all Americans. Minnesota has the lowest rate.
Here in Ohio, Senate Bill 68, introduced Feb. 17th., would establish universal health care coverage for all Ohio residents.
