Ark. Code § 23-98-101

Current with legislation from 2024 Fiscal and Special Sessions.

Section 23-98-101 - Legislative findings

The General Assembly finds that the cost of health insurance coverage is not affordable for many small businesses, their employees, self-employed persons, and other individuals, and that as a result hundreds of thousands of Arkansas citizens do not have any health insurance coverage. It is the intent of the General Assembly to reduce the cost of health insurance for these citizens by:

(1) Authorizing the development of new classes of hospital and medical insurance coverage for qualified groups, families, and individuals; and

(2) Authorizing the Insurance Commissioner to develop means to assist in limiting the marketing and administrative costs of certain of such new classes of insurance coverage.
