Bill Summary
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to ensure that working families have access to affordable health insurance coverage.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Family Coverage Act," aims to ensure working families have access to affordable health insurance by amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Specifically, it clarifies the definition of "affordable" for employer-sponsored health insurance plans, which are considered "minimum essential coverage" under Section 36B of the code. The bill establishes that coverage is considered unaffordable if the employee's required contribution for themselves or their family members exceeds 9.5 percent of the applicable taxpayer's household income. This change is intended to expand access to affordable health insurance without requiring further legislative action, and it applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013.
