Some major bills passed on health care this session.
The bills will:
Create a new state medical form for end of life choices, revises health-care power or attorney language.
Require group health insurance plans to cover treatment for mental illness services at the same level that they cover physical illnesses.
Create a program for residents whose long-term illnesses make buying health insurance too expensive or unavailable because no company is willing to sell it to them.
Set up a system of rating adult-care homes, strengthen health-care personnel registry and set up regular meetings of Penalty Review Commission.
Require state and local public agencies to disclose the total compensation paid to top officials, but gives public hospitals the right to deny such information for the rest of their employees. Also bars the public from learning the details of medical practice purchase contracts struck by public hospitals.
