Bill > HB05277

This bill aims to modify Connecticut's existing laws in title 38a to permit sponsoring associations to establish multiple employer welfare arrangements (MEWAs), which are group health insurance plans that allow multiple employers to join together to provide health coverage to their employees. A multiple employer welfare arrangement is a type of health benefit plan that enables small businesses or associations to pool their resources and potentially secure more affordable health insurance for their members. By allowing sponsoring associations to create these arrangements, the bill seeks to give smaller organizations and their employees more flexibility and potentially lower-cost options for obtaining health insurance coverage. The bill's primary goal is to expand healthcare access and potentially reduce insurance costs for members of sponsoring associations by enabling them to create collective health insurance plans that can leverage group purchasing power.
