Summary: Covered California, the state's health insurance marketplace, argues that CMS should preserve state flexibility in the EHB-benchmark framework to allow for local market tailoring. They also urge CMS to maintain the current two-year implementation timeline to ensure market stability and allow sufficient time for regulators and issuers to coordinate changes.
