CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, In March 2010, President Barack Obama signed into
law a sweeping health care bill, the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act; and
WHEREAS, A number of reports have since suggested that the
new federal Medicaid standards imposed by the Act will require
taxpayers to spend millions, even billions, more over the next
decade; and
WHEREAS, In addition, there are likely to be ramifications
for small employers and those who purchase private insurance; for
instance, it has yet to be determined how many people will lose
their health insurance as a result of the ACA; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby direct the comptroller of public accounts to conduct a study
to determine the costs to the state of instituting the Affordable
Care Act and a projection of the number of Texas residents who would
lose health insurance coverage as a result of the ACA; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official
copies of this resolution to the Texas comptroller of public
accounts.
