A package of bills that enshrine federal insurance mandates into Pennsylvania law passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

Two bills ban annual and lifetime limits and preexisting condition exclusion policies. The third stipulates that dependents can keep parental health insurance coverage through age 26.
