BILL NUMBER:S5695 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend chapter 362 of the laws of 2012, amending the insurance law relating to a health insurance demonstration program for early retirees, in relation to extending the effectiveness of the provisions of such chapter PURPOSE: The purpose of the bill is to extend the Superintendent of Financial Services' authority to approve a demonstration program to provide group health insurance coverage for former employees of a major New York-based employer. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill would extend, from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014, the Superintendent of Financial Services' authority to approve a health insurance demonstration program under which an eligible insurance company would provide health insurance to former employees of a major New York-based employer. JUSTIFICATION: Today, an increasing number of New Yorkers are losing employer-based health insurance coverage due to the economy. Some of these individuals were promised continued coverage by their employer after retirement. These former employees lack access to employment-sponsored health insurance coverage, often cannot afford to purchase coverage in the private pay market, and are not eligible for Medicare.
