HCR 5013 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Urging Congress to give state insurance regulators authority over Medicare Advantage plans.

This legislative resolution urges the U.S. Congress to grant state insurance regulators the authority to oversee Medicare Advantage plans, which are currently managed primarily by the federal government. The bill argues that state-level oversight would be more effective at preventing deceptive marketing and protecting vulnerable seniors from aggressive sales tactics. It specifically calls for states to enforce their own consumer protection laws regarding plan advertising, network access, and benefit disclosures. While the text cites complaints from Kansas about misleading practices, the resolution itself is a non-binding recommendation rather than a law that directly changes federal regulations.
