SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Health Insurance Reform Commission created. Establishes the Health Insurance Reform Commission as a legislative commission. The duties of the Commission include monitoring the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; determining whether Virginia should establish a state-run health benefit exchange; recommending what health benefits should be required to be included within the scope of the essential health benefits provided under health insurance products offered in the Commonwealth; providing assessments of existing and proposed mandated health insurance benefits and providers; and developing recommendations to increase access to health insurance coverage, ensure that the costs of health insurance coverage are reasonable, and encourage a robust market for health insurance products. Committees of the General Assembly are directed to request the Commission to assess the impact and efficacy of legislation proposing a mandated health insurance benefit or provider. The Commission will expire on July 1, 2017. The measure also repeals the Special Advisory Commission on Mandated Health Insurance Benefits.
