SENATE BILL No. 6

Introduced: in 144th General Assembly

Sponsor(s): Sen. Patricia Blevins, Sen. Robert Marshall, and State Rep. Bethany Hall-Long.

Purpose: To create a statewide health insurance purchasing pool. Senate Bill 6 would create a statewide pool which would reduce the cost of insurance for thousands of Delaware’s families and small businesses, by giving them some of the same advantages that big companies now have when purchasing health insurance. There is $5 million allocated in the Governor’s proposed budget to start the pool, a level of funding that would allow more than 10,000 Delawareans to enroll in the pool in its first year.
