CAHIP Statement on Covered CA 2023 Plans & Rates
We’d like to thank the Board, staff, and every consumer advocate for your work and are proud that California continues to lead the nation in terms of options, access and cost containment. California agents remain hopeful that the federal government will act to extend advanced subsidies so that quality health coverage remains affordable for all Californians.

As we await federal action and prepare for open enrollment, CAHIP agents look forward to working with Covered CA to increase awareness and understanding for millions of Californians. In closing, whatever the outcome at the federal level, know that agents will be available to help individuals, families, and businesses make informed decisions that maximize the MANY options available to suit their personal healthcare needs.
Home Stretch – 2022 Legislative Update
by CAHIP Lobbyist Faith Borges and VP of Legislation Dawn McFarland
The 2021-2022 State legislative year is ending on August 31, 2022. Once the final gavel falls, legislators will return home to their districts to resume campaigns and finish out the current elected term that concludes November 30th. The November 8 General Election will determine the fate of all statewide offices, including the Governor, all 80 Assembly seats and half of the 40 Senate seats. While we expect that there will be many new faces, there will also be plenty of incumbents returning to represent newly re-drawn districts following recent updates driven by California’s latest census.
