Maryland approves health insurance overhaul in landmark move
The Maryland Legislature approved a sweeping health insurance overhaul aimed at expanding coverage for about 600,000 uninsured residents and lowering costs for small businesses through pooled purchasing. The bill limits insurer denials for costly conditions, expands state monitoring of care quality, and curbs high fees by some doctors and insurers. Governor Schaefer is expected to sign, with heavy lobbying from doctors, lawyers, and insurers shaping the debate.
