AI Summary
This bill, the Capping Prescription Costs Act of 2021, aims to limit cost-sharing (out-of-pocket expenses) for prescription drugs covered by qualified health plans under the Affordable Care Act. Specifically, it caps the monthly cost-sharing for an individual at $250 and for a family at $500 starting in 2023, with annual increases tied to the medical care component of the consumer price index.
