Bill > S3001

This bill, the Easy Enrollment in Health Care Act, aims to streamline enrollment in health insurance affordability programs and minimum essential coverage. The key provisions include: 1. Establishing a program that allows taxpayers not covered by minimum essential coverage to elect to have their household members' eligibility for insurance affordability programs determined and enroll them in zero-net-premium plans, if eligible, when filing their tax returns. 2. Modernizing eligibility criteria for insurance affordability programs, such as providing for continuous Medicaid and CHIP coverage and using recent annual income to establish eligibility. 3. Strengthening data infrastructure to facilitate eligibility determinations and enrollment, including allowing insurance affordability programs to access information from sources like the National Directory of New Hires. 4. Appropriating funds to the Departments of Treasury and Health and Human Services to develop the necessary information exchange and processing infrastructure.
