Section 6-12-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds as follows: (1)
Cigarette smoking presents serious public health concerns to the state and to the citizens
of the state. The Surgeon General has determined that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease,

in the United States each year. These diseases most often do not appear until many years after
the person in question begins smoking. (2) Cigarette smoking also presents serious financial
concerns for the state. Under certain health care programs, the state may have a legal obligation
to provide medical assistance to eligible persons for health conditions associated with cigarette
smoking, and those persons may have a legal entitlement to receive such medical assistance.

Section 22-6-233 Legislative findings; certification of collaborators; powers of Medicaid
Agency; state action immunity. (a) The Legislature declares that collaboration among public
payers, private health carriers, third party purchasers, and providers to identify appropriate
service delivery systems and reimbursement methods in order to align incentives in support

competition, such that any anti-competitive effect may be attributed to the state's policy
to displace competition in the delivery of a coordinated system of health care for the public
benefit. In furtherance of this goal, the Legislature declares its intent...
