Among options being explored are healthcare cost growth benchmarks, public option health plans, exchange subsidies, and an all-payer model
In a preliminary report to the Washington Legislature, state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler and Attorney General Bob Ferguson examine several policy options that other states have pursued to address healthcare affordability, including the possible creation of an all-payer model, as in Maryland.
The Legislature provided Kreidler and Ferguson with funding last year to review key factors impacting the affordability of healthcare coverage for individuals, businesses and government in the Evergreen State. Their two offices were tasked with compiling policy options for improving the affordability of healthcare in Washington. The final report is due to the Legislature in August 2024.
