A bipartisan group of governors testified on ways to lower health care premium costs and to stabilize the individual insurance market. They discussed allowing states more flexibility to innovate and create health care pools or reinsurance programs to address the expense of covering customers with high medical costs. The governors also talked about auto-enrollment in health care plans, extending cost-sharing reduction subsidies for low-income consumers, prescription drug costs, and health care access for rural communities. Attending the hearing were Governors Charlie Baker (R-MA), Steve Bullock (D-MT), Bill Haslam (R-TN), Gary Herbert (R-UT) and John Hickenlooper (D-CO).
