MEMORANDUM

| From: | Representative Matthew E. Baker |
| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Health Insurance Exchange Task Force Legislation |
| In the near future, I plan to reintroduce legislation (former House Bill 1544) which would call for the development of a Health Insurance Exchange Task Force. This task force will be instructed to review the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), as put forth by Congress and as amended, by the United States Supreme Court, to make suggestions to the General Assembly on how to proceed during the next few years as the ACA is implemented. With the many interest groups that that have visited me and the many studies which have been done, there has been little consistency on how costs and benefited have been determined. This Task Force will hopefully create a report which will set a number which all those in the General Assembly can agree. The Task Force will be a bi-partisan body made up of equal representation of Senators and Representatives from both sides of the aisle. It will also include insurance representatives, individuals from the business community and the Secretaries of the various impacted agencies. I am hoping to put together a dynamic group which can fully explore and recommend a path forward for the Commonwealth.
