ALEC's Profits Before Patients Legislation
 
  • Mandated Benefits Review Act This legislation makes it more difficult for states to mandate health coverage.  
  • Resolution on Health Insurance Reform Regulation This Resolution helps prevent Congress from passing federal legislation that would impose restrictions on insurance companies. 
  • Resolution on Preserving States’ Rights to Regulate Health Insurance This resolution, similar to the Resolution on Health Insurance Reform Regulation, urges Congress not to institute federal review, oversight, or preemption of state health insurance laws.
  • Resolution on Antitrust Exemption for Physician Cartels  This Resolution urges states to reject legislation that would exempt independent doctors from antitrust laws.
  • Independent External Review for Health Benefits Plans Act Instead of giving patients the right to sue HMOs, this act establishes an “external review board” for the address of grievances brought by consumers regarding their health plan coverage.
