Increasing affordability of standardized plans on the individual market. This bill seeks to increase affordability of health care in the individual market by establishing a subsidy program to be administered by the Washington Health Benefit Exchange (HBE). The bill would require a hospital system that operates at least four licensed hospitals under RCW 70.41 to contract with at least two public option plans in each geographic rating area in which the hospital system has at least one facility. A hospital is not required to contract with two public option plans in a county pursuant to (a) of this subsection unless it receives an offer from at least two health carriers to provide in network services as part of a public option plan and may contract with only one public option plan.
