(215 ILCS 93/5)
    Sec. 5. Purpose. The legislature recognizes that all too often, small employers are forced to increase employee co-pays and deductibles or drop health insurance coverage altogether because of unexpected rate increases as a result of one major medical problem. It is the intent of this Act to improve the efficiency and fairness of the small group health insurance marketplace.
