AI Summary
This bill, known as the HEALTH Act (Helping Every American Lower Their Healthcare Act), makes two primary changes: first, it extends certain provisions related to the health insurance premium tax credit, which helps individuals and families afford health insurance purchased through the marketplace; specifically, it temporarily removes the income cap of 400% of the poverty line for eligibility and extends enhanced premium assistance amounts, with these changes applying to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, and continuing until a date determined by the Secretary of the Treasury based on budgetary impact, using estimation methods similar to those of the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation; and second, it rescinds any unspent funds that were previously allocated for providing assistance to Argentina, effective immediately upon the bill's enactment.
