Bill Summary
Health Care Choice Act of 2017
AI Summary
This bill, the Health Care Choice Act of 2017, would repeal Title I of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and establish a system of cooperative governing of individual health insurance coverage offered in interstate commerce. The key provisions include: allowing health insurance issuers to designate a "primary state" whose laws would govern their policies, exempting these issuers from many laws in "secondary states" where they sell coverage, establishing standards for independent external appeals processes, and giving the primary state sole jurisdiction to enforce its laws. The bill aims to increase the availability and affordability of individual health insurance coverage across state lines.
