Question

Should all health insurance policies be required to include a one-page, plain-language summary of key coverage details?

Background

Policy documents are often long and written in technical language. Residents have reported difficulty understanding what is covered, what is excluded, and how much they may pay out of pocket. Insurers argue that new rules may increase administrative burden and legal risk.
