AI Summary
This bill, the Fair Indexing for Health Care Affordability Act, amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to set forth a method for determining annual updates to premium tax credit eligibility and maximum out-of-pocket limits. Specifically, it changes the way the "premium adjustment percentage" is calculated, which is used to determine annual updates to these ACA provisions. The bill requires the Secretary to base the premium adjustment percentage on estimates and projections of the percentage change in the average per enrollee premium for eligible employer-sponsored health plans, as published in the National Health Expenditure Accounts.
