Assisted health insurance plan

One of three parts of the present administration’s proposal for national health insurance, the Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan. AHIP is designed to provide health insurance coverage for low income and high medical risk people. It would be available to anyone electing coverage, at a premium no greater than 150 percent of the average group premium for private health insurance in the State. Premiums and cost sharing would be indexed to income. AHIP would replace Medicaid and would be State administered under contract with fiscal intermediaries. Benefits under AHIP would be identical to those under EHIP and FHIF. The plan would be financed by premiums, and subsidized by State and Federal revenues under a matching formula.
