| Description | WASHINGTON -- As a Louisiana state senator, Bill Cassidy authored legislation with several health reform provisions included in President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act that Cassidy and other Republicans are seeking to repeal.
In 2007, Cassidy, now a Baton Rouge congressman, offered up a bill that would establish a state-run exchange where individuals without health coverage through their employer, Medicare or Medicaid could purchase insurance. That's similar to the exchanges established under the president's law, known as ObamaCare.
Cassidy's 2007 legislation, first reported by the NOLA Defender, had the goal of health care insurance reform, defined, in the bill, as the "study, research, evaluation, and implementation of a variety or combination of experienced based entitlements, subsidies, and health insurance innovations public or private, or both, designed to provide health insurance coverage to each citizen of this state." |
