Bill Summary
Stop Junk Health Plans Act of 2018
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the Public Health Service Act to include short-term, limited-duration insurance plans in the definition of individual health insurance coverage. This means that these types of plans, often referred to as "junk plans" due to their limited coverage, would be subject to the same consumer protections and regulations as other individual health insurance plans, such as requirements related to pre-existing conditions. The amendments made by this bill would apply to plan years beginning after December 31, 2018.
