Bill Summary
Urges the United States Congress to enact a one-year extension of ACA subsidies through December 31, 2026, with enhanced oversight mechanisms to combat the estimated $25 billion in annual fraud, including stricter verification processes for enrollments and penalties for fraudulent activities. Urges Congress to include a clause in the extension legislation stipulating that, if comprehensive ACA reforms are not enacted by December 31, 2026, all members of Congress and the United States Senate shall forfeit their government health plan subsidies effective January 1, 2027, thereby aligning their incentives with those of the taxpayers who fund over 75% of their premiums.
AI Summary
This resolution urges the United States Congress to extend financial assistance, known as ACA subsidies, for health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for one year, until the end of 2026. The resolution emphasizes the need for stronger measures to prevent fraud, which is estimated to cost $25 billion annually, by implementing stricter enrollment verification and penalties for fraudulent actions. Furthermore, it proposes that if Congress fails to enact significant reforms to the ACA by December 31, 2026, all members of Congress and the Senate would lose their own government-provided health plan subsidies starting January 1, 2027, aiming to make their financial interests more aligned with those of taxpayers who cover a majority of their health insurance costs.
