Editor's notes
Ga. L. 2019, p. 2, § 1-1/SB 106, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “This Act shall be known and may be cited as the ‘Patients First Act.’” Ga. L. 2019, p. 2, § 3-1/SB 106, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: “The General Assembly finds that: “(1) For Georgians in recent years, private sector health insurance choices have decreased and the costs of insurance coverage have increased; “(2) Through the granting of Section 1332 innovation waivers, the federal government allows states to pursue innovative strategies for providing their residents with access to high quality, comprehensive, and affordable health insurance while retaining the basic protections for consumers; and “(3) Such waivers may be narrowly tailored to address specific problems and may address, among other things, the creation of state reinsurance programs, high-risk health conditions, changes to premium tax credits and cost-sharing arrangements, consumer-driven health care accounts, the creation of new health insurance products, the implementation of health care delivery systems, or the redefinition of essential health benefits.”
