Bill > SB172

This bill proposes to enact the Health Security Act to provide comprehensive statewide health care coverage through a combination of public and private financing, control escalating health care costs, and improve health care access and quality for all New Mexicans. The key provisions include creating a Health Care Commission to administer the health security plan, establishing regional health care delivery systems and councils, defining the benefits and eligibility requirements for the plan, setting rules for provider payments and health facility budgets, prohibiting certain private health insurance for covered services, and requiring a fiscal analysis of the plan's first five years. The bill also amends the Tort Claims Act to include the Health Care Commission and its staff as public employees.
