Existing federal law, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) , enacts various health care coverage market reforms that took effect January 1, 2014. Among other things, PPACA required each state to establish an American Health Benefit Exchange to facilitate the purchase of qualified health plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers. Existing state law establishes the California Health Benefit Exchange, also known as Covered California, within state government. Existing law specifies the powers and duties of the board governing the Exchange, and requires the board to facilitate the purchase of qualified health plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers. Existing law establishes the California Health Trust Fund and continuously appropriates moneys in the fund for these purposes. This bill would require the board to subsidize the premium payments of individuals who enroll in health care coverage through the Exchange and who, under federal law, would be eligible for premium tax subsidies, as specified. The bill would make this requirement operative only to the extent that funding to cover the cost of the state subsidy is provided, by express reference, in the annual Budget Act or in another act making an appropriation for this purpose. The bill would require that administrative costs incurred by the board in making the state subsidy available would be paid from the California Health Trust Fund, thereby making an appropriation.
