Bill Summary
Marketplace Certainty Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Marketplace Certainty Act, aims to amend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) to improve cost-sharing subsidies. The key provisions of the bill are:
1. It modifies the amount of cost-sharing reductions under the ACA, increasing the plan's share of total allowed costs to 95% for eligible insureds with household income between 100-200% of the federal poverty level, 90% for those between 200-300% of the poverty level, and 85% for those between 300-400% of the poverty level.
2. It provides permanent funding for the cost-sharing reductions by appropriating necessary sums from the U.S. Treasury to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, ensuring the continued availability of these subsidies.
The bill is intended to enhance the affordability and accessibility of health insurance coverage for individuals and families with moderate incomes, who may still struggle to afford out-of-pocket costs despite qualifying for ACA subsidies.
