The health reform law required the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) to set minimum benefit limits for plans in health exchanges. But now the HHS wants to relinquish that responsibility to the states.

Their plans must cover services in at least 10 categories, which include preventive care, emergency services, maternity care, prescription drugs, mental health and substance abuse.
