     Your Committees on Health and Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 2087 entitled:

beg leave to report as follows:

     The Hawaii Medical Service Association and Ohana Health Plan testified in support of this bill.  The Healthcare Association of Hawaii and AlohaCare provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Health and Human Services that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2087 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Health and Human Services,
