Maryland governor signs a first-in-the-nation measure to make it easier for people without health insurance to find out if they qualify for low-cost insurance after they file their taxes.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan signed a first-in-the-nation measure Monday to make it easier for people without health insurance to find out if they qualify for low-cost insurance after they file their taxes.
Hogan, a Republican, highlighted bipartisan work in the General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats, on other health-related measures he signed Monday. One of them raises the smoking age from 18 to 21 and includes vaping in the definition of tobacco products. Sen. Brian Feldman, a Democrat, said the measure is part of a response to efforts at the federal level to overturn the Affordable Care Act, including the end of the mandate requiring people to have insurance or else pay a tax penalty.
"We've been continuing to look for bipartisan ways to get more Marylanders health insurance," Feldman said."We've made a lot of strides. About six or seven years ago, we had about 760,000 people without health insurance. Now, we're down to 360,000, and in light of what's happening at the federal level — the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act, the elimination of the mandate, we're starting to see some backtracking on that.
