Healthcare Mandates Boost Costs

The preponderance of evidence indicates that the buildup of health care mandates has caused insurance premiums to rise. The state should require independent cost-benefit analysis before issuing any new mandates. Similar cost-benefit analysis should be required as part of a sunset review of existing mandated benefits. Finally, the state should permit insurers to issue a basic insurance plan that provides standard coverage, unburdened by costly and unconventional mandates.
