Maryland- House & Senate Approve Health Exchange Bill

A new health insurance marketplace for Maryland residents and businesses and individuals received initial approval from both the Maryland House and Senate on Monday.

...

In a statement, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown described the legislation as “one of the most critical components of our efforts to reduce costs, expand access and improve the quality of care for Maryland families.”

Both the Senate and House approved exchange bills (SB 238/HB 443); once each bill crosses over and is approved by the opposite chamber, the legislation can be sent to Gov. Martin O’Malley for the final OK.
