Sen. Kelly: Lower everyone’s health insurance premiums by $500 per month for the average family of four.
February 9, 2023Sen. Kevin Kelly said he was disappointed not to see reinsurance in the budget.
He said getting the waiver to pay the most expensive health insurance claims could lower health insurance by 30%.
He said if the state spent $90 million it would essentially lower everyone’s health insurance premiums by $500 per month for the average family of four.
“That’s real money,” Kelly said. “We can do this.”
He said if you want to talk about affordable health care that’s what the Republicans would propose.
“That’s something that I think we could do,” Kelly added.
