Bill Health care coverage. (1) Existing federal law, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) , enacts various health care coverage market reforms that take effect January 1, 2014. Among other things, PPACA requires each state to, by January 1, 2014, establish an American Health Benefit Exchange that facilitates the purchase of qualified health plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers. PPACA requires a health insurance issuer to consider all enrollees in its individual market plans to be part of a single risk pool and to consider all enrollees in its small group market plans to be part of a single risk pool. PPACA also requires an issuer to establish an index rate for each of those markets based on the total combined claim costs for providing essential health benefits within the single risk pool for that market and authorizes the issuer to vary premium rates from the index rate based only on specified factors. PPACA requires that the index rate be adjusted based on Exchange user fees and expected payments and charges under certain risk adjustment and reinsurance programs. us/states/ca California Legislature 20132014 SB 959 California SB 959 (20132014)
