2026 Legislative Successes

The Universal Health Care Commission (UHCC) 
In this difficult budget year, we were pleased to note that funding levels achieved in 2025 were maintained for the Universal Health Care Commission, and for the design of an auto enrollment process for those who lose Medicaid and qualify for Health Benefit Exchange plans. 

Faced with Federal cuts to health care, our legislative focus was on increasing patient affordability and access to care, financial stability for providers, relief from administrative burden, and accountability for insurance companies.  

✅ HB 2548 – Strengthening health care market standards.

✅ SB 5845 - Modernizing and clarifying timely payment requirements for health carriers.

✅ SB 5395 - Making improvements to transparency and accountability in the prior authorization determination process.
