Senate lawmakers on Thursday passed a bill that would require health insurance companies to include on consumers’ premium statements the amount of rate increase, if any, resulting from the 2010 Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

“It is good for us to be transparent with the consumers of Georgia and show exactly what this legislation coming down is going to do to our insurance premiums,” said Sen. Burt Jones, R-Jackson, who sponsored the bill.

Senate Bill 236 would also require workers on the state’s health benefit program to receive the same information. The bill passed 36-17.
