New York state is taking regulatory steps to ensure that health insurers maintain coverage for certain benefits currently provided under federal law and continue participating in the health insurance exchanges, as the Trump administration and the Republican-led Congress in Washington, D.C., continue efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare.
“For the public health and general welfare, the department is promulgating this rule on an emergency basis in the event that Congress repeals the ACA,” the Department of Financial Services wrote in the rule, posted to the State Register last week and subject to a 45-day public comment period.
