AI Summary
This bill, the State Allowance for a Variety of Exchanges Act (SAVE Act), amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to allow the Department of Health and Human Services to award grants to support the establishment of state-based health insurance exchanges in those states that have not already elected to do so. The bill requires that any state receiving a grant must ensure the resulting exchange is self-sustaining by 2024, either through assessments or user fees charged to participating insurers or by generating its own funding. The bill also clarifies that the federal government cannot require a state to establish an exchange if the state elects to apply and satisfy the requirements to implement its own exchange.
