  Rep. Kiley Asks HHS to Block California’s New Healthcare Tax Washington, D.C. – Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA) has sent a formal request, joined by other members of the California delegation, urging the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to deny approval of California’s recently enacted Managed Care Organization (MCO) tax. “Californians already face the highest cost of living in the country. Adding hundreds of dollars more to families’ healthcare premiums is unacceptable. Policymakers on both sides of the aisle, at both the state and federal level, need to be focused on making healthcare more affordable.” California’s new MCO tax, amounting to $8.85 per enrollee, is estimated by the state’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst to raise premiums by $100 per year for an individual and $400 per year for a family of four.
