If passed, this bill will ELIMINATE prosthetic and orthotic mandates in California, Colorado, Oregon, Maine, and New Hampshire and WILL PREVENT any further mandates from being enacted.
Tuesday, May 9th is the day the US Senate will take floor vote on the Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization and Affordability Act otherwise known as the Enzi bill.
Here is a link to a state by state listing of all the benefit protections, INCLUDING EXISITING ORTHOTIC and PROSTHETIC MANDATES that will be lost if the bill is passed.

<URL Redacted>. 1955, the Health Insurance Marketplace Modernization Act (HIMMA), was introduced by Sen. Michael Enzi (R-WY) and is slated for a floor vote in the U.S. Senate the week of May 8. This legislation, if enacted, will strip away almost all state-enacted consumer protections for people buying insurance individually or through their employers.
Though the bill’s alleged purpose is to make insurance affordable for small businesses, its reach is far greater than that: States will no longer be able to mandate coverage of benefits, services, or categories of providers for individuals, small groups, or large groups. Premium rating protections, enacted by states to make small group insurance more affordable to older and sicker workers, will be set aside. Insurers will be allowed to sue states that do not comply. The bill sets a ceiling on, but no floor under, what states can do to protect insurance consumers.
