AI Summary

This bill, the Health Care Affordability Act of 2021, aims to improve the affordability and reduce the premium costs of health insurance for consumers. It does this by amending the Internal Revenue Code to change the applicable percentage used to calculate the premium tax credit for health insurance plans purchased through the Affordable Care Act's marketplace. The bill expands the income tiers eligible for the tax credit, allowing more individuals and families to qualify for and receive a higher credit, ultimately lowering their out-of-pocket costs for health insurance premiums.
